The spread of COVID-19, more commonly known as coronavirus, has forced the Pac-12 to cancel the remainder of the 2020 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada. During the first-round matchup between Colorado and Washington State on Wednesday, the Pac-12 announced that no fans will be allowed in the arena for the remainder of the tournament. The next day, a statement from the conference’s vice president Andrew Walker canceled the rest of the tournament.
“The Pac–12 Conference has made the decision to cancel the remainder of the Pac–12 Men’s Basketball Tournament and all Pac–12 sport competitions and Pac–12 Championship events, effective immediately, until further notice,” Walker said.
