A top-25 showdown between Baylor and West Virginia slated for Tuesday has been postponed after COVID-19 issues within West Virginia’s program popped up on Monday morning. A date to make up the game is expected to be set at a later time. West Virginia’s upcoming games against TCU and Oklahoma State, scheduled for Jan. 16 and Jan. 19, respectively, are also postponed, the Big 12 announced Tuesday afternoon.
They are one of a handful of high-major games that are now off the Tuesday schedule as teams grapple with the challenges the pandemic continues to present. Syracuse-Clemson is also off Tuesday as the Tigers program remains in limbo as it deals with its own contact tracing and quarantine measures after a positive test this week. They also had to postpone their game Saturday against North Carolina.
The Syracuse at North Carolina game that was originally scheduled for Jan. 2 will now be played Tuesday.
In addition, Tennessee at Vanderbilt has also been postponed. That game was added to the schedule late because Vandy-Missouri had to be postponed because of COVID-19 issues within Missouri’s program. Tennessee’s original opponent, South Carolina, also had to back out of its meeting because of its own issues.
