While no announcement has come from the university as of yet, the Tigers and USF were scheduled to play Saturday at State Farm Arena as part of the day-long Holiday Hoopsgiving event.

Depending on the length of the reported pause, it could also impact all or part of LSU’s non-conference home stand against New Orleans (Dec. 16), North Texas (Dec. 19) and VCU (Dec. 22).
