Saturday's game between Cincinnati and Tulsa has been postponed because of positive COVID=19 cases at Cincinnati and quarantining of athletes at the school, the American Athletic Conference announced Thursday.

The game will be rescheduled to Saturday, Dec. 5 at Tulsa.

"We are disappointed we will be unable to play Tulsa Saturday," Cincinnati athletic director John Cunningham said in a statement. "We knew this season was going to require a lot of patience and flexibility and disruptions were likely to happen. The health and safety of student-athletes, coaches and staff is always our primary focus and we appreciated the outstanding work and continued dedicated of our medical staff throughout the pandemic."

The AAC also announced Thursday that the conference championship game will be played on either Dec. 12 or Dec. 19. A final decision on the date of that game will be made no later than Nov. 1, the conference said.
