The first Bedlam basketball game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in Stillwater was postponed last Saturday due to Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the Big 12 and Oklahoma State announced.

The Tuesday road trip to West Virginia was also postponed but the Saturday game at 1 p.m. in Stillwater against No. 2 Baylor is still on the schedule. And OSU is supposed to play Iowa State at 8 p.m. Monday on ESPN2.

OU and OSU  have a Feb. 27 game scheduled to be played in Norman.

Someone in the OSU program tested positive for the virus last week, causing a pause in basketball activities indefinitely.

 “The well-being of the young men in our program has always been and will continue to be the most important thing to me, my staff and our administration,” Cowboys coach Mike Boynton said in a statement.

“We’ve been very fortunate to play the games we’ve played thus far, and we will await the advice of our medical staff before making any decisions on a return to team activities.”

The Big 12 has built in an extra week between the regular-season’s finish and the start of the Big 12 Tournament, which runs March 10-13 in Kansas City.

OU would have been shorthanded, too, because starter Brady Manek would have missed his third consecutive game due to the coronavirus  protocols.

 “From the start back in July, our major theme was that this was going to be different. The team that can adjust, the team that can’t worry about it being fair, you can’t worry about it being different,” Kruger said.

OU already has had games canceled with Central Florida and Florida.

OU was scheduled to host Kansas State Tuesday night and has a 11 a.m. game against Kansas Saturday in Norman on ESPN2. OU plays at 6 p.m. at Texas on January 26.
