Less than two hours before Tennessee basketball was set to open the second round of the SEC Tournament, the league cancelled the remainder of the games due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Vols’ postseason prospects are now in question as a result.
UT would have gone up against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville at 1 p.m. ET. That game would have been to determine who would face the Kentucky Wildcats, who won the regular season SEC Championship, on Friday.
The cancellation comes a day after the league initially announced plans to continue the event with just no fans in attendance.
