Rain Delays Reshape Big Ten Tournament Schedule
The Oregon Ducks' quarterfinal matchup against the Washington Huskies, originally slated for Friday evening, will now be played Saturday morning after a weather‑related postponement.
A rain delay earlier in the day between USC and Michigan State pushed back the start times for the remaining contests, moving the Ducks‑Huskies game from a 7 p.m. Pacific start to an 8 a.m. Pacific kickoff on Saturday.
If Oregon emerges victorious, they will immediately take the field again later that same day in a doubleheader against the winner of the Nebraska‑Michigan contest, a scenario that could test the team’s depth and stamina.
The schedule shuffle is not isolated; the delay also altered the timing of other matches, including the Nebraska‑Michigan and Purdue‑UCLA games, further compressing the tournament’s slate.
