Mother Nature forces TCU, Texas Tech to postpone basketball game in Lubbock
COVID-19 isn’t the only reason TCU men’s basketball has seen games postponed this season. Mother Nature has joined the list.
The Big 12 rescheduled two games this week between TCU and Texas Tech on Monday, hoping to get both in. But TCU traveling to Texas Tech for a game Tuesday isn’t going to happen.
The Horned Frogs were not able to leave town today due to inclement weather. The Big 12 announced the postponement this afternoon. A makeup date hasn’t been announced.
As of now, a Thursday game between the schools in Fort Worth remains on but there are concerns about Tech’s ability to travel to town for it. A tip-off time and TV partner has not been announced yet. That game was originally scheduled for Jan. 20, but was postponed due to COVID-19 issues within TCU’s program.
The Horned Frogs are 11-8 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12. They are searching for their first victory over a ranked team this season after Saturday’s 70-55 loss at No. 12 Texas (13-5, 7-4) dropped TCU to 0-5 in those situations.
The Red Raiders, who fell eight spots to No. 15 in the AP poll released Monday, are 14-6 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12.
TCU and Tech split the season series last year with each program winning its home game.
Along with the TCU-Tech game in Lubbock being postponed, the Big 12 announced a couple schedule adjustments for Texas.
The Longhorns’ game at Oklahoma on Tuesday has been pushed back to Wednesday, and the Longhorns’ game at Iowa State on Thursday has been postponed due to inclement weather.
Women’s update
The Texas at TCU women’s basketball game scheduled for Wednesday at Schollmaier Arena has been postponed due to inclement weather.
The Big 12 will work with both schools to reschedule the game. TCU said tickets and parking for the original game will be valid on the makeup date.
The Big 12 announced that the Texas Tech at Oklahoma women’s game on Wednesday has been postponed as well.
