The Pac-12 men’s basketball tournament had a successful first round but it went largely unnoticed as the country watched notable sporting events cancel or suspend their seasons indefinitely on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The Pac-12 and commissioner Larry Scott originally made the decision to continue with the tournament with limited attendance including just ‘essential staff, TV network partners, credentialed media, and limited family and friends’ at the event.
However, after the ACC, Big Ten, SEC, AAC and other basketball tournaments had been canceled on Thursday morning, the Pac-12 followed suit and decided to cancel the remaining games of the tournament.
