There’s a change in the Utah men’s basketball team’s schedule this week.
The Utes’ game at No. 7 Houston will be moved back a day and played Wednesday at 4 p.m. MST at the Fertitta Center, the Big 12 announced, due to a storm set to hit the Houston area.
Utah and Houston were originally scheduled to tip at 6 p.m. MST Tuesday. Winter Storm Enzo is expected to hit Texas and Louisiana on Monday night, including the Houston area, and bring with it snowy and icy conditions as it moves eastward, according to The Weather Channel.
The matchup will still be streamed on ESPN+, as originally scheduled.
The Utes (11-6, 3-3 Big 12) are coming into the matchup on a three-game win streak, which includes a 73-72 overtime win over BYU on Saturday at the Huntsman Center.
The Cougars (14-3, 6-0 Big 12) are unbeaten in Big 12 play and on a 10-game winning streak. In its last game, Houston was challenged by UCF before prevailing on a last-second layup.
Following Wednesday’s rescheduled game, Utah will return home to face Baylor on Saturday (2:30 p.m. MST, ESPN2) at the Huntsman.
The Bears (11-6 3-3 Big 12), who beat Utah by 25 in Waco, Texas, in their Big 12 opener, are coming off a loss to TCU and dropped out of the Associated Press top 25 rankings this week.
