The NCAA announced the development on Friday evening, Oct. 21, as the match was halted anew due to health and safety protocol.

The Heavy Bombers (5-2), who still have two more games remaining for the first-round, last competed on Oct. 7 with a 63-57 win against the Lyceum Pirates (8-3).

A new schedule, as well as JRU's initial 12 p.m. game against San Sebastian on Friday, Oct. 21, has yet to be announced.

This meant only one game will be played on Sunday as the streaking Letran Knights (8-3), for their part, will continue to roll the ball against the Stags (3-5) in their 3 p.m. affair.
