Arizona’s Pac-12 opener vs. Colorado postponed due to Buffaloes pausing basketball activities

The Pac-12 season won’t be starting this week for the Arizona Wildcats.

Colorado announced Tuesday morning it had paused its men’s basketball program due to COVID-19 issues, and in the process postponed Wednesday’s game at McKale Center.

“We have temporarily paused our men’s basketball operations due to positive cases of COVID-19 within the program,” Colorado athletic director Rick George said in a statement. “This includes the postponement of Wednesday’s game at Arizona. The status of other upcoming games is dependent upon contact tracing and subsequent testing of team members and basketball staff this week.
