Texans are free to enter restaurants, stores and shops without facemasks after officials recently relaxed COVID 19 restrictions in the Lone Star State.
But fans won't be entering the Ford Center at the Star in the Dallas suburb of Frisco without face masks. Moreover, social distancing will be enforced when the Conference USA tournament kicks off Tuesday with three preliminary-round games.
C-USA officials determined that all previous safety protocols will be enforced, and that the teams will be isolated in a "bubble" and game attendance limited, in spite of the changes made by Texas state officials.
