Penn State’s men’s basketball team won’t get the chance to stop its three-game losing streak Sunday after its game against No. 6 Wisconsin, scheduled for the Bryce Jordan Center, was postponed.

School officials said the postponement was mutually agreed upon between the schools due to “an abundance of caution for the health and safety of the participants.” It is the first postponement of a Big Ten men’s basketball game this season.

Penn State (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten) and Wisconsin (9-2, 3-1) will attempt to reschedule the game. The Nittany Lions’ next scheduled game is Wednesday at No. 25 Ohio State.
