The University of Wyoming Athletics Department released the following statement on Sunday, January 2.

“Due to COVID-19-related concerns within the Wyoming men’s basketball program, the game between the Cowboys and Nevada scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 4 in Reno, Nevada, has been postponed. If the game cannot be rescheduled, it will be declared a no contest.”

It is the second consecutive game to be postponed due to COVID-19 concerns after UW’s conference-opening tilt with Boise State in Laramie suffered the same fate with tests within the Broncos program.

The Cowboys are currently (11-2) on the season.

The Spur is part of the Cowboy Sports Network and carries Wyoming Basketball and Football in Western Wyoming.
