Due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the Big 12 Conference has canceled all conference championships through the end of the spring academic year.
The conference also has canceled all conference and non-conference competitions through the end of the spring academic year, including spring sports that compete beyond the academic year.
Plus, the conference has suspended, until March 29, all organized team activities, whether organized or voluntary, including team and individual practices, meetings, and other organized gatherings.
The conference's actions have resulted in the cancellation of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships in Kansas City, and upcoming gymnastics and equestrian championships.
Prior to the cancellation announcement, two games had been played in the men's basketball tournament in Kansas City. On Wednesday, March 11, Oklahoma State defeated Iowa State, 72-71, and Kansas State defeated TCU, 53-49. The game was TCU senior Desmond Bane's 141st game in his career, the most in TCU basketball history.
The women's basketball tournament was about to get underway in Kansas City when the cancellation notice was issued.
The TCU women's basketball team, which was the Big 12's second-place team, was scheduled to play its first game in the women's tournament on Friday, March 13.
