If the Cowboys go on an improbable run that leads them to the NCAA Tournament, not many people will be able to say they saw it live.
Shortly before Oklahoma State’s opening round Big 12 Tournament game against Iowa State on Wednesday evening, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby announced that starting Thursday teams would be limited to 125 tickets apiece for the conference tournament with the arena being cleared between games. The decision came shortly after it was announced that the NCAA Tournament would be limited to essential staff and limited family attendance.
“I have made the decision to conduct our upcoming championship events, including the Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, with only essential staff and limited family attendance,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement.
