The Mid-American Conference announced today (Thursday) that the rest of the MAC men and women's basketball tournaments will be cancelled due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus.
That means that today's semi-final game between Ohio University's men's basketball team and Akron – set for tip-off at 12:10 p.m. – has been canceled.
MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher in a press conference at noon today announced the news. He said the decision was made after a significant amount of communication with the various athletic department directors and presidents of the universities in the MAC.
"As you started to see this morning, we've seen a number of conferences have made the decision to cancel, and we have come to the same conclusion, and we will be canceling our event," Steinbrecher said.
