On Sunday evening, USC women’s basketball played the first major sporting event in Los Angeles since the Southern California wildfires began ravaging the region last Tuesday
Given the circumstances, it was understandably an emotional night at Galen Center. Following the game, USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb addressed the crowd about such.
“There were over 6,000 people here tonight,” Gottlieb said. “With so many people in our beloved community that have lost a lot, you cannot take our community away from us.
“We are always about representing you the best that we can. And if we can bring two hours of joy, or a season of joy, we’re gonna try to do that to the best of our ability.
“We appreciate you coming out here for us.”
USC’s schedule has been affected by the wildfires, as Northwestern’s women’s team elected not to travel out to Los Angeles this week. As a result, the Women of Troy will not be back in action until next Sunday, when they visit Indiana.
As of now, Tuesday night’s men’s basketball game against Iowa is still scheduled to take place.
