SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The University of Utah men’s basketball program announced multiple changes to the Utes’ 2020-21 schedule.
“In coordination with the Pac-12 Conference office and member institutions, the following changes were made to the Utah men’s basketball schedule effective immediately,” Utah athletics announced on January 6.
Utah is now scheduled to play a ranked Oregon Ducks team on Saturday, January 9 at 7:30 p.m. (MDT). The game will broadcast on the Pac-12 Network.
The adjustment was made following Oregon State’s inability to play against Utah due to COVID-19 testing and contract tracing.
Our game tomorrow vs Oregon State has been postponed due to COVID-19 testing results & contact tracing within the Beavers program.

The Utes also announced two additional changes to “combat future postponements and allow for make-up games in the final week of the regular-season.”
In addition, Utah announced that it will also play against Colorado on Monday, January 11 instead of the originally scheduled date of March 6. The time for tip-off has yet to be determined but the game will air on the Pac-12 Network.
