PULLMAN, Wash. — Wednesday’s game between the University of Washington and Washington State University men’s basketball teams has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within WSU’s program.

The Boeing Apple Cup Series contest was originally scheduled to be played Dec. 29 in Pullman, but all team-related activities for WSU’s team are currently paused due to its health and safety protocol.

The two schools will work together with the Pac-12 Conference to find a date to reschedule the game.

Both teams are next scheduled to play on the road next week. The Huskies will return to the court at Arizona on Monday, Jan. 3 and the Cougars plan to play against Colorado on Thursday, Jan. 6.

All tickets purchased for Wednesday’s game will be valid for the rescheduled date, once it is finalized.
