The 2020-21 college basketball season has seen its fair share of games moved, canceled, or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the weather could force a new round of games being moved or postponed. On Tuesday the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team is set to host their rivals, the Texas Longhorns, at Lloyd Noble Center.
The Sooners are looking to sweep their rivals to the south of Red River after taking game one in Austin, 80-79. The game is set for Tuesday night but the winter storms across Oklahoma and Texas might prevent the game being played as scheduled.
Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman tweeted it is unclear at this time if the Longhorns will even travel to Norman for the game.
As of now, it's unclear whether the Texas men can get out of Austin today and head to Norman for Tuesday's game. We'll see how the day unfolds.

Most airports around the state have canceled all flights due to the amount of ice and snow on the ground. With more expected, it could be tough sledding. Sooners head coach Lon Kruger will speak to the media this morning, we are hoping for some clarification on the game.
