SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah men’s basketball team announced that their game against Oregon State on February 22 will be rescheduled for the first week of March.
RELATED STORIES
Utah basketball was supposed to play four games in seven days before this change was made, including two games against Oregon State. Date and time for the rescheduled game will be determined at a later date.
The game being moved to the first week of March will allow the Runnin’ Utes to have some rest between games. Their final week of the regular season did not have a game scheduled because they moved the Colorado game from that week to January 11 at the Huntsman Center. The Buffaloes picked up a 65-58 win in that game.
🚨SCHEDULE UPDATE🚨
Our home game against Oregon State on Feb. 22 has been moved to the week of March 1. Date/Time still TBD. Stay tuned for updates.

If Utah didn’t move the Oregon State game to that week, they would’ve played USC in their regular season finale on Saturday, February 27 and not play again until the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament on Wednesday, March 10.
The Utes have 5 more regular season games on their schedule and still need to reschedule their two games against Arizona State that were postponed multiple times. As of right now, Utah will travel to Oregon State on Thursday, February 18 and Oregon on Saturday, February 20. Then they will host UCLA on Thursday, February 25 and USC on Saturday, February 27. Finally, they will play Oregon State in the first week of March. One of both of the Arizona State games could go in that week as well.
