Big 12 Cancels Basketball Tournament Because of COVID-19 Pandemic

The Cowboys won’t get a shot to make a Big 12 Tournament run worthy of an NCAA Tournament bid.

Shortly before Thursday’s Big 12 Tournament game between Texas Tech and Texas, the conference announced the decision to cancel the remaining games of the tournament because of the COVID-19 outbreak. The decision comes after it was announced yesterday that attendance to Thursday’s games (and beyond) would be limited. Tech and Texas had to be pulled off the floor as they were warming up for the 11:30 a.m. tip.

Event cancellations have ramped up the past 24 hours, with the most notable being the NBA suspending its season after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.
