Washington's home and away games against Washington State and its road game at California have been moved from Saturday to Sunday next season.

UW plays WSU Jan. 30 in Pullman and Feb. 27 at Edmundson Pavilion. Both games will begin at 7 p.m.

The Huskies were originally scheduled to play Jan. 15 against the Bears but the game has been switched to 7 p.m. on Jan. 16.

FSN is expected to broadcast the UW-WSU games nationally, but the network has not released next season's schedule.

"You play those nights as opposed to Saturday and you can get more eyeballs on you," coach Lorenzo Romar said. "On Saturday, there's 1,000 games and obviously there's less on Sundays."

For years the conference coaches were reluctant to shift from the Thursday-Saturday format, but the scheduling changes are in line with Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott's plan to increase visibility for the conference.

UCLA plays Jan. 9 at USC in another Sunday game.

California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, USC and Washington State have not released schedules for next season.
