The Mountain West suspended spring sports because of the spread of coronavirus, the conference said in a statement Thursday.
UNLV will not allow fans for its spring sports events for the rest of the season, according to a joint statement with UNR on Wednesday.

UNLV athletic events and the ongoing Mountain West men’s basketball tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center are going on as scheduled.
