HONOLULU – Hawai'i Pacific University's game against Texas Christian University scheduled for Friday afternoon has been cancelled.
 
HPU sophomore guard Emil Isovic passed away on Wednesday and after both teams practiced on Thursday at Saint Francis, a decision was made not to play the contest.
 
In a statement from TCU Athletics, "Under the current circumstances, it was not appropriate to play the game. Our thoughts and prayers are with Hawai'i Pacific and the basketball team at this time."
 
The game was scheduled to be a regular season contest for TCU and an exhibition for the Sharks.
 
HPU will return to the playing court on Monday when the Sharks resume PacWest Conference play at Academy of Art. Tipoff is set for 1:30 p.m. HST (3:30 PST) at San Francisco's Kezar Pavilion.
