UTA men’s, women’s basketball teams cancel several upcoming matchups due to COVID-19 concerns

The men’s and women’s basketball teams have made changes to their 2020-21 nonconference schedules.

The Mavericks have canceled a Dec. 19 matchup with Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, while the Lady Mavericks have canceled a home game against the University of Houston that was scheduled for next Tuesday.

The men’s team and Oral Roberts agreed to move the start of their home-and-home series to the 2021-22 season. The Lady Mavericks canceled their matchup with Houston because they haven’t been cleared by medical professionals after a positive COVID-19 test result last week.

The Mavericks lost 79-64 to University of Tulsa on Friday, and their next scheduled contest is against Hardin-Simmons University at 6 p.
