This week's two-game Big Sky Conference men's basketball series between Eastern Washington and Weber State has been wiped out as a result of ongoing Covid-19 issues within EWU's program.
 
The games will not be played on Jan. 7 and 9 as scheduled, and at this time, Big Sky Conference basketball games that are canceled will not be rescheduled. Thus, Eastern's next scheduled games are Jan. 14 and 16 against Southern Utah at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash.
 
The Eagles announced a confirmed positive case on Dec. 30 that resulted in the cancellation of EWU's home games versus Portland State on Dec. 31 and Jan. 2. Eastern is 2-4 overall, and hasn't played since winning its league opener at Northern Arizona on Dec. 19 and having a game the day earlier canceled.
 
Weber State's league games last week versus Idaho State were also canceled because of Covid-19 issues within ISU's program. However, the Wildcats picked up a non-conference game against Utah Valley and beat the Wolverines 70-62 to improve to 4-3 on the season. Weber State split its opening weekend of league action against Portland State in December.
