Summit League Mens, Womens BB Tourney Changes

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Conference officials say the Summit League men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will be held without fans and moved to a smaller venue in Sioux Falls because of the COVID-19 concerns. The tournament is scheduled March 6-9. It has been originally slated for the Denny Sanford Premier Center, which seats about 12,000, and now will be held at the 3,250-seat Sanford Pentagon. Conference commissioner Tom Douple says that while the move is disappointing, the welfare of all those involved is the highest priority.
