Men’s basketball game against Washington State postponed for COVID protocols

Oregon’s next men’s basketball game against Washington State has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within the Cougars program.

Here we go again.

Just when the Oregon Ducks are finding their stride, the schedule has been derailed. Coming off of a historic weekend that featured upsets against No. 3 UCLA and No. 5 USC, the Ducks will have to wait a bit longer to get back on the court as their next game against Washington State Jan. 20 has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within the Cougars’ program.

According to the school, every effort will be made to reschedule the game, and the rescheduled date will be announced when finalized.

The timing of this postponement couldn’t come at a worse time as the Ducks are coming off their most successful regular season weekend in the program’s history. No other team in the history of the Pac-12 has swept a road series against top-5 ranked opponents, and it hasn’t been done nationally since Clemson did so in 1975.

However, the Ducks shouldn’t have to wait very long to get back in action with their Saturday game against Washington is still on. The Huskies are 8-7 overall and 3-2 in conference action.

Oregon and Washington are scheduled to tip-off at 7 p.m. on Fox Sports 1.
