UPDATE: The NCAA announced Thursday afternoon that the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments have been canceled.

Oregon, the regular-season Pac-12 champion and highest remaining seed in the conference’s men’s basketball tournament at the time of Thursday’s cancelation, received the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The Pac-12 canceled the remainder of its tournament, which began Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and all of its sports competitions and championships until further notice in an effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and protect athletes, coaches, league and event personnel and spectators.

League bylaws state that if the Pac-12 Tournament has begun, but cannot be completed, “the automatic qualification berth shall be awarded to the highest seeded team remaining in the Conference Tournament at the time of cancellation.”

The No. 13 Ducks (24-7, 13-5 Pac-12), who won the Pac-12 regular-season title outright by defeating Stanford March 7, were scheduled to open the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinal round against Oregon State at Noon Thursday.

Because the tournament was canceled, a champion was not declared and Oregon was not awarded the Pac-12 Tournament championship trophy. Amid a rapidly changing situation, a source had erroneously indicated that was the case.

Though conferences have widely canceled their tournaments and suspended all athletic events, the NCAA has not formally announced plans for its men’s or women’s basketball tournaments.
