LA JOLLA, Calif. – Due to COVID-related health and safety protocols, the two remaining UC San Diego men's basketball games of the 2022-23 season have been canceled. The Tritons were slated to host Cal Poly Thursday on Senior Night and visit Cal State Fullerton Saturday for the season finale.
These games will not be rescheduled and shall be declared no contest in accordance with The Big West force majeure procedures. Seeding for The 2023 Hercules Tires Big West Basketball Championships, presented by The Hawaiian Islands will be determined by winning percentage in Big West contests, regardless of total number of games played.
In their third season of reclassification to NCAA Division I, the Tritons posted 10 wins – including five against Big West competition. UC San Diego earned a 99-91 victory at then-first place UC Irvine in the team's final road game last week.
Information regarding ticket refunds will be emailed out to those affected later Wednesday morning.
