Oregon men's basketball vs. Washington State postponed due to COVID within Cougars program
Just as Oregon's season was heating up, it goes back on pause.
Thursday's Pac-12 men's basketball game at Matthew Knight Arena against Washington State has been postponed due to COVID-19 issues within the Cougars' program, it was announced Tuesday.
It's the fourth postponement of a game this season for the Ducks, including twice for a game against Colorado, which is scheduled to be played in Eugene on Jan. 25. Oregon's postponement of a game against Oregon State earlier this month has been replayed.
The game against the Cougars has not been rescheduled yet.
The Ducks (11-6, 4-2 Pac-12) have won five straight and are coming off a historic weekend on the road when they beat then-No. 3 UCLA and then-No. 5 Southern California. It was first road sweep of teams ranked in the Associated Press top five since the conference expanded to eight teams in 1964-65.
Oregon's next opponent is Washington at 7 p.m. Sunday at Matthew Knight Arena.
