The Iowa State game has been postponed due to the Coronavirus protocol. It's them, not us. ISU is pausing basketball activities per protocol. The ISU game will be re-scheduled. We're still on for TCU on Saturday, Jan. 23 in Ft. Worth at 5 p.m. No. 4/4 Men’s Basketball game at Iowa State postponed - University of Texas Athletics
Even if both teams were grossly short handed, I’d rather play the game if it’s safe to do so. That gets more experience for both sides’ backups. And it would keep up the team chemistry and momentum. Real games beats practice by two or three times.
It appears they left the week of March 1st open to take care of re-playing cancelled games. I can see making up 2 games in this week, but 3+ (West Virginia for one) may be tough.
I don’t see why the teams are not vaccinated by Feb 15. In this way, they are mostly immune by March 1.
