The Big West Conference Championship Tournament will be taking the phrase “with little to no fanfare” to an entirely different level this week.
Conference officials announced on Tuesday that fans and non-essential personnel will not be allowed into the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., to view any games this week. The historic move was described as a “precaution for preventing the spread of COVID-19 virus.”
Fan presence and feelings aside, the games will go on. The action begins on Thursday with four quarterfinal games.
