The women’s basketball teams from UCLA and USC will not be able to host Northwestern this week due to the devastating wildfires impacting the Los Angeles region.

At least 11 lives have been lost and around 10,000 buildings have been destroyed by the wildfires. Although the fires are not posing an immediate threat to the university’s campus, the Wildcats opted to cancel their trip to California for the two scheduled games.

Northwestern was set to compete against the Bruins on Sunday, January 12, and the Trojans on Wednesday, January 15, as part of the Big Ten Conference. The conference is currently looking into rescheduling these matches for a later date.

UCLA (16-0, 5-0 Big Ten) has held the top spot in the YSL News Sports Coaches Poll since December 3. USC (15-1, 6-0 Big Ten) is currently ranked sixth and was ranked as high as third earlier in the season. Meanwhile, Northwestern (7-9, 0-5 Big Ten) is not ranked.
