"USC announced the cancellation on Tuesday morning while sending its support to Brown and those affected. The school said in a statement that it plans to announce a new non-conference opponent to fill the same slot on Sunday. The matchup with Brown was slated to be USC's nonconference finale. The Trojans have yet to lose outside of Big Ten play this season, currently standing at 9-0."
"Gottlieb said that a former teammate of hers had a daughter still hiding from the gunman in the basement of a library at the time of Sunday afternoon's game. "It doesn't need to be this way," she said. "Sending thoughts and prayers to my teammates who have kids there. To the parents that have to worry about their children, I'm just going to end it with that, but just to say we're the only country that lives this way.""
USC and Brown mutually canceled the scheduled men's basketball game at Galen Center on Sunday in response to the mass shooting on Brown's campus. USC announced the cancellation, expressed support for Brown and those affected, and said it will name a new nonconference opponent to replace the game. The canceled matchup had been USC's nonconference finale; the Trojans stood 9-0 outside Big Ten play. Brown's shooting on Sunday killed two people and wounded nine. USC women's coach Lindsay Gottlieb, a Brown alumna, said a former teammate's daughter hid in a library basement during the attack and called for an end to the violence.
