Several major NCAA conferences have cancelled their postseason basketball tournaments amid continued fears over outbreaks of the coronavirus.
The Big East tournament quarterfinal between Creighton and St. John's started at noon ET, but the league then cancelled the entire event at halftime.
“Following additional consultation with the league’s presidents and athletic directors, and in light of the continued conversations surrounding the fluidity of COVID-19, the Atlantic Coast Conference will immediately cancel the remainder of the 2020 ACC Tournament," the ACC said in a statement. The American called its cancellation “a proactive decision to protect the safety, health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and staff and all involved in the tournament.”
