The Sun Belt Conference has decided to cancel the remaining games of both its men’s and women’s basketball tournament.
The announcement comes an hour after the conference decided to hold the tournament without fans in the arena.
“After further discussion with the Presidents and Chancellors and Directors of Athletics and mounting concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Sun Belt Conference has decided to cancel the remaining games of the 2020 Sun Belt Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships scheduled for March 14-15 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans,” the conference said in a statement Thursday morning.
