MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee men's and women's basketball games will remain without fans this week based on Tennessee Governor Bill Lee's executive order on Dec. 20.
Both the men's and women's team are opening Conference USA play beginning Friday. The women will host FAU on Friday and Saturday while the men travel to FAU for contests on Friday and Saturday.
The university made the initial decision to not allow fans on November 21 out of concern about the recent spike in COVID-19 active cases in Rutherford and surrounding counties, as well as guidance from public health officials who have cautioned against large, indoor gatherings.
