Conference USA Statement

March 11, 2020
FRISCO, Texas – Conference USA will implement a restricted attendance procedure for the remainder of the 2020 Air Force Reserve Conference USA Basketball Championships presented by Baylor Scott & White Sports Performance Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, following consultation with the NCAA, local authorities and related health and safety officials.

All remaining games will be played with the official team party, student-athlete family, credentialed media, television and radio crews, and essential personnel. The event will be closed to the general public.

Why does FIU get a home game against us. We’re the high seed.

I feel this hurts North Texas much more than anyone else.

It hurts the crowds North Texas would have had at our games. I think a heavy North Texas presence would have given us a home court advantage. But, it hurts the wallets of fans in the east that shelled out good money to travel to the tourney, only to be told to go home. That sucks too.

Yep. It does. And we've got some LA Tech fans who already made the 4-hour drive over to Frisco. They won't be happy.

I was going to head down tomorrow morning. Guess I'll be watching games on the couch.

I would be very surprised if any basketball is played after tonight

As long as no players are sick, it will be played. So far Tech is keeping the band and cheer in Frisco and participating.

I'm surprised the band and cheer are allowed to stay. I wasn't sure if they would be. That's good at least.

Its all over guys.....Can we start this back up in May? May Madness sounds good to me...

Dont know how other schools are doing it but Western is going to allowing people who bought tickets through the school to be included in the 125 number. So lets play the number game and thats not counting band and cheerleaders....

125 each school and that would double because you cannot treat girls different so 250 for both programs. The semis you have 4 lady teams and 4 men teams....a total of 1000 possible people in the stands. If its unsafe then it should be just as dangerous for those on the team list....1500 to 2000 is the norm.

We are waiting around till tomorrow to try and get on "a list" didnt buy through Western so thats a wait and see if Western uses all 250 slots. Might try another CUSA school....FAU and UAB wont be using all of their slots

At least we got in to see the last NBA game of the season...Dallas started at 7pm and they didnt cancel till 7;30

I'm sure the hearts of those that drove more than 12 hours or took expensive flights are breaking wide open for your 4 hour drives.
