SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah women’s basketball program has had five consecutive games postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. In an effort to get back on the floor, the program announced that they have added a non-conference game against UC Riverside on Friday, January 14.
The Utes last game came on December 21 in an 83-76 loss at Oklahoma.
We have ourselves a GAME, folks!
We will host UC Riverside tomorrow afternoon for a non-conference contest. This game will be closed to fans due to facility conflicts.
We will return to the Huntsman Center on Sunday to take on No. 2 Stanford. https://t.co/Q4n43uFxEu

The Utes have yet to begin Pac-12 play after health and safety protocols within the Utah program forced games against Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA and USC to be postponed.
Health and safety protocols within the Cal Bears program caused a game scheduled for Thursday, January 13 to be delayed as well.
Due to COVID-19 issues in Cal’s program, our game tomorrow scheduled for 7pm is postponed.
An update on the direction of rescheduling the contest will be made available at a later date.https://t.co/FfKHQcI8QO
