Most people thought college football would be affected by the FAA grounding flights on Friday, while some of those games were moved to Sunday, basketball was affected as well, including Oregon.
The Ducks were scheduled to host Pepperdine on Sunday afternoon inside Matthew Arena, but the Waves were unable to make it to Eugene in time, and the game has been postponed.
Whether the game has been postponed permanently is yet to be seen, but for right now, both schools are looking for an appropriate date to make up the game.
If the contest is not made up, it would be a shame because it sounds like it would have been an entertaining contest. While the Waves are just 2-2 this season, they average 96 points per game and play a fast-paced brand of basketball.
As for the Ducks, they are currently 3-0 this season and are looking to continue their hot streak. After a couple of performances in the exhibition season, coach Tony Stubblefield seems to have this team playing its best right now. Oregon is coming off a 100-66 win over Mississippi Valley State.
With this game being put on ice for the moment, the Ducks' next game will be in Portland on Thursday when they face Oregon State in the Civil War, a game that was scheduled just a few weeks ago. The Beavers are currently 4-0 and are also coming off a victory over Mississippi Valley State 81-65. They do face East Texas A&M on Monday before playing the Ducks.
If East Texas A&M sounds familiar, they are the team that went to Norman, Oklahoma, and upset the Sooners 68-64 earlier this month.
The Ducks and Beavers will tip off at 6 pm, and it will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
