The Mountain West and Atlantic 10 Conference agreed to postpone its challenge series for one year, the leagues announced Monday in a joint statement.

Ten college basketball teams from each conference were set to square off in early December, with the matchups split between Mountain West and Atlantic 10 venues.

The 20 schools who were supposed to compete are as follows:

Atlantic 10 Mountain West
Davidson Fresno State
Rhode Island Colorado State
Saint Joseph's Nevada
Saint Louis New Mexico
VCU Wyoming
Dayton Air Force
Duquesne Boise State
George Mason San Diego State
Richmond UNLV

The NCAA recently selected Nov. 25 as the official start date for the 2020-21 campaign, causing the rescheduling and relocation of several marquee early-season events on the college basketball schedule.
