On Thursday, Tennessee basketball is set to face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the second round of the SEC Tournament. Those two teams will be competing to face the top-seeded Kentucky Wildcats in the quarterfinals Friday afternoon.
Since the tournament is taking place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, it’s likely that many Vol fans were going to try to make it. Heck, that could even give them a home-court advantage, for what it’s worth, although nobody will count out Kentucky fans filling a stadium in that area.
However, with the Coronavirus outbreak, everything changes. The NCAA Tournament is now limiting attendance to its games because of it.
