“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.”
