Worchester Polytechnic Institute of Massachusetts (WPI), a private school in Worcester, Mass., about 50 miles east of Boston, played Yeshiva University, a private Orthodox Jewish on the banks of the Harlem River, in the first round of the Division III men’s basketball tournament, on Friday night at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, where the game was moved after a coronavirus case forced Yeshiva to cancel classes last week.
Johns Hopkins banned fans from attending the game, making it one of many events without fans across the globe. Originally scheduled for 1 p.m., the game was moved to 2 p.
