COVID-19 issues force postponement of 3 women's basketball games featuring ranked teams

Games featuring three ranked women's basketball teams were postponed Wednesday.

No. 1 South Carolina will begin SEC play Thursday at Missouri, but the Gamecocks' home game against Ole Miss -- which was scheduled for Sunday -- has been postponed. Ole Miss is currently in COVID-19 protocols.

In the ACC, No. 16 Georgia Tech's game at Pittsburgh, scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed because of COVID-19 issues within the Panthers' program. The Yellow Jackets are still scheduled to face No. 3 Louisville on Sunday.

And No. 21 Iowa's Big Ten game Sunday against Illinois is postponed because of COVID-19 issues facing the Illini. The Hawkeyes previously had their Thursday game at Penn State postponed because the Nittany Lions are in COVID-19 protocols.

Iowa is next scheduled to play Jan. 6 vs. Northwestern.
