Just like countless others around the nation, the Arizona State Sun Devils and Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball teams have been impacted greatly by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of the programs’ 14 postponed or canceled games (more on that below), six were conference matchups. While it’s unclear when the rescheduled games will take place, the Pac-12 is working with all sides involved to get the games in before season’s end.

In order to have more time to reschedule said postponed Pac-12 games, both ASU and Arizona agreed to move up their series finale from March 6 to Jan. 25.

With that being said, here’s a timeline of all the postponements or cancellations the two schools have navigated this season:

These lists will be updating regularly with any updates or added postponements/cancellations

Sun Devils cancellations and postponements

Nov. 26 — Baylor Bears

Before the regular season began, the Sun Devils were forced to shift gears when Baylor announced COVID-19 concerns ahead of the Bears’ matchup against ASU in the 2K Empire Classic.

Instead, the Sun Devils took on Rhode Island, winning 94-88.

Dec. 17 — Incarnate Word Cardinals

Incarnate Word canceled its matchup with the Sun Devils due to a positive test within the Cardinals’ program.

Utah postponed the team’s matchup with ASU after someone tested positive for COVID-19 within the Utes’ program. It marked the first conference game to be postponed for the Sun Devils.

Dec. 31 — Washington State Cougars*

ASU’s following matchup against Washington State would not go one as planned, either. This time the Sun Devils had to postpone the meeting due to coronavirus developments within their program.

Jan. 2 — Washington Huskies*

Same as the Washington State game, the Sun Devils were forced to postpone the team’s matchup with the Washington Huskies due to COVID-19 developments within ASU’s ranks.

Wildcats cancellations and postponements

Nov. 25 — NAU Lumberjacks

The Wildcats were able to fill the slot with Eastern Washington, however, which Arizona beat 70-67.

Dec. 12 — Illinois Fighting Illini/New Mexico State Aggies

Originally expected to play Illinois, the Wildcats were forced to reschedule the finale of the two-game series to 2021 after both schools agreed to postpone the matchup over COVID-19 considerations.

Instead, Arizona turned to New Mexico State to fill the vacancy. Unfortunately, the Aggies had to cancel their meeting with the Wildcats due to a positive COVID-19 test within their ranks.

The Wildcats still managed to find an opponent for Dec. 12, though, as the team faced UTEP. Arizona won 69-61.
