WKU men’s basketball head coach Rick Stansbury and WKU women’s basketball head coach Greg Collins both traveled with their respective programs to the Conference USA Tournament in the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, on Tuesday in search of automatic bids to their respective NCAA Tournaments, but those hopes were dashed by the coronavirus outbreak on Thursday.
C-USA canceled the remainder of its conference tournament due to continued concerns about the coronavirus outbreak on Thursday, and the league also suspended all spring sport competition for league institutions until further notice just 58 minutes later.
