College Basketball Invitational Tournament Canceled Due to Coronavirus Fears

The College Basketball Invitational has been canceled, the Gazelle Group announced.

"Due to the uncertainty about the coronavirus and the impact it is having on college campuses across the country, we have decided to cancel the 2020 College Basketball Invitational. As colleges and universities are making difficult and complex health and risk management decisions about conducting sporting events, it became apparent to us that this was the most prudent course of action."

The United States has more than 1,000 confirmed cases of people infected with the coronavirus (COVD-19) and at least 30 deaths. World Health Organization officials declared it a global pandemic on Wednesday.
