CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The remainder of the 2020 Hercules Tires Big South Conference Women's Basketball Championship has been cancelled, as announced by the league office Thursday afternoon.
"Given concerns related to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the rapidly escalating developments nationally, the Big South Conference Executive Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the remaining rounds of the Hercules Tires Big South Conference Women's Basketball Championship," stated Big South Conference commissioner Kyle Kallander. "While we were hoping to protect these important opportunities for our women's basketball student-athletes, we feel this is the prudent course at this time. Conference leadership is currently discussing the status of spring sports seasons, and will provide updates as they become available."
No. 5 Gardner-Webb was set to take on No. 4 Hampton in tonight's quarterfinal round. Per conference policy, No. 1 seed Campbell is awarded the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
