The Arizona Wildcats will have to wait a few extra days to begin Pac-12 play, as Thursday’s conference opener against the Washington Huskies at McKale Center has been canceled due to COVID-19 protocols within the Washington program.
Matt Norlander of CBS Sports is reporting that the game will be rescheduled. If it cannot it will go down as a forfeit and count as a loss for Washington.
A handful of college basketball games had previous been canceled this season due to COVID, but none involving Pac-12 teams. Arizona had several canceled, postponed or rescheduled in 2020-21 because of issues involving its opponent.
