As the dominoes continue to tumble amidst mounting concerns about the spread of the coronavirus, with even the NBA and NHL suspending their seasons, it was no surprise Thursday when the Pac-12 announced that the remainder of the Pac-12 men's basketball tournament would be cancelled and the NCAA followed suit by cancelling March Madness.
The USC basketball team was in Las Vegas, Nev., preparing to play Arizona on Thursday afternoon after having a first-round bye in the tournament.
By the end of the day, all USC winter and spring sports were shut down.
USC shared reaction from basketball coach Andy Enfield and players took to Twitter to react to the news that their season is finished. The Trojans (22-9) were in position for their first NCAA Tournament appearance in three years.
