The dominos continue to fall.

The Big 12 canceled their conference tournaments held in Kansas City, following suit of Big Ten, American Athletic Conference, the SEC, and a handful of others.

Last night, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby made the announcement that Big 12 Tournament games would have limited access following in the steps of the NCAA who made similar stipulations regarding the NCAA Tournament.

Also last night, the two ‘play-in’ games took place with Oklahoma State beating Iowa State and Kansas State beating TCU in the men’s tournament. The women’s tournament was scheduled to begin tonight.

Both Oklahoma teams were set to play tonight. The three-seeded men were scheduled to play six-seeded West Virginia at 8 p.m. CT. The nine-seeded Sooner women were going to play eighth-seeded Oklahoma State at 6 p.m. CT.

As of right now, the NCAA Tournament is still a go without fans in attendance but as minutes pass by, the chances are not looking good.
