HOUSTON – Due to the threat of severe winter weather expected to hit the greater Houston area, the University of Houston Men's and Women's Basketball programs announced changes to their schedules this week.
As part of a doubleheader, Houston Women's Basketball now faces Big 12 Conference rival Texas Tech at 1 p.m., Wednesday. Houston Men's Basketball tips off vs. Utah in the first meeting in Houston during the series history at 5 p.m., Wednesday.
Due to the inclement weather forecast, event staffing, concessions and premium space offerings inside Fertitta Center may be limited. Houston Athletics will continue to monitor weather conditions closely and provide updates if further changes are necessary.
There are no changes to ticketing procedures or entry. Ticket holders to the Women's Basketball contest vs. Texas Tech will receive complimentary access to the Men's Basketball game vs. Utah. Fans are encouraged to exercise caution and prioritize safety when making travel arrangements.
