“We remain absolutely in line with our Japanese hosts in our commitment to delivering a safe olympic Games,” the Ioc president said.

hoping we can get through this and get some sense of normality back.” In response to the coronavirus outbreak, morgan S tate suspended all in-classroom instruction until at least April 3. But the last game of the college basketball season marked a potential first for the morgan State women’s basketball pro- gram. Highlights from the Bears’ win were featured on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.” only two other NCAA Division I games were played in their entirety Thurs- day. “I didn’t even know they had the footage,” said Davis, who took his team to red Lobster on Thursday night. “ I thought it was great.” With the NCAA canceling all remaining winter and spring championships and almost every professional league suspended indefinitely, it’s unclear when “SportsCenter” will have any fresh footage to show. In the meantime, morgan State is em- bracing its spot i n college basketball history. “The last game played in the country for the 2019-2020 season,” the team’s Twitter account proclaimed. “We made history and got the W! #TriviaQuestion2038.” “Even though it’s on a sad note that it happened, it’s also a great trivia question,” Davis said, “ because we won the game.” “I think it’s definitely something we’ll remember,” mitchell said. “It’s going to be crazy to look back, like, ‘Yeah, I was the last person i n the nation t o play a game in the coronavirus p andemic.’ ” [email protected]

State clinging to a one-point lead, the public address an- nouncer at Scope Arena told the sparse crowd that the remainder of the tournament was canceled. mitchell, who was in “game mode” and listening to instruc- tions from Davis near the morgan State bench, didn’t hear that announcement. Neither, appar- ently, did her teammates, who celebrated their fifth straight win and marked their spot in the semifinals by placing a “morgan State” sticker on an interactive bracket that tournament staffers brought onto the court. In the locker room a few minutes later, Scott, morgan State’s AD, congratulated the players on their win and broke the news that their season was over. “I was speechless,” said mitchell, who had 18 points and 11 rebounds. “It all just seemed so surreal and something that you can’t really understand at the time. It was just so heart- wrenching a nd a mix o f emotions because we had just won a very big game and, at the same time, it’s done. It was something that was just snatched out of your control. It was really upsetting.” “Like every other coach in America, I have an understand- ing of how serious this is and what we must do to protect these student-athletes,” said Davis, who led the Bears to their most wins (17) since 2 010-11. “I thought we were getting hot at the right time, and we can talk about disappointment, but the more and more I realize how much this is affecting people and how i n a few short w eeks it’s s hut down America, how we have to all be on board...

run through Saturday, might be altered. on Tuesday, the Ivy League became the first conference to cancel its men’s and women’s tournaments. The fol- lowing day, the NCAA an- nounced it would play its men’s and women’s tournaments, which were to begin next week, without fans. After a slew of conferences canceled their tournaments Thursday morning, D avis tried to keep his players focused in the locker room b efore their midafternoon game. “We saw the news,” Davis said. “I didn’t know all the ramifica- tions, but we were just told that we were going to play, and that’s what we did.” Before third-seeded morgan State took the floor for warmups, mitchell, who starred at A tholton High in Howard Coun- ty, received a text from her friend mariah Gray. The senior guard at To wson, who was preparing for a game against Northeastern, told mitchell the Colonial Athletic Association had canceled its women’s tournament. By the time morgan State and sixth-seeded Delaware State tipped off just after 2 p.m., the mEAC and mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference were the only leagues still playing. The mAAC canceled soon after, and the NCAA’s announcement that it was canceling march madness followed — b efore m organ State’s game ended. “I just never really put it in perspective that this could really happen,” mitchell said. “I didn’t think it would happen the way that it did.” During a timeout with two seconds remaining and morgan

BY SCOTT ALLEN

At halftime of Thursday’s mid-
Eastern Athletic Conference
women’s basketball tournament
quarterfinal between morgan
State and Delaware State, mor-
gan State Athletic Director Ed-
ward Scott informed Bears
Coach Ed Davis Jr. that the
remainder of the tournament
would be canceled upon comple-
tion of the game.
Every other Division I confer-
ence already had canceled its
basketball tournament at that
point amid the novel c oronavirus
pandemic. But with the score
tied at halftime, Davis opted to
withhold the news from his play-
ers. He d idn’t t ell them until after
they celebrated a 64-63 win in
the final NCAA Division I college
basketball game of the 2019-20
season.
“I definitely appreciate him
for not telling us, because we
were already having a pretty
rough start to the game,” morgan
State senior guard Chelsea
mitchell said in a phone inter-
view friday as the team bused
back to Baltimore. “I think our
focus just needed to be on each
other and doing everything we
can for each other. I just feel like
if we knew, it would’ve affected
that.”
mitchell and her teammates
arrived in Norfolk with an in-
kling that this week’s tourna-
ment, which was scheduled to

ty. A senior ruling-party politician then said Japan needed to brain- storm plans t o deal w ith a possible cancellation or postponement, even though the final decision would b e left t o the IoC. “Not thinking about worst-case scenarios won’t eliminate the risk of them materializing,” Shigeru Ishiba, an Abe critic, told reuters. But the Japanese government held the line, with olympics min- ister Seiko Hashimoto saying this week that postponement or cancellation was “inconceivable.” on friday, she said she was aware of Trump’s s uggestion of a postponement. “I have heard that neither the IoC n or the organizing committee is discussing the postponement or cancellation of the olympics and that they will move ahead with their preparations for a safe and secure olympics toward their opening on July 24,” s he s aid. To kyo Gov. Yuriko Koike said every day brought big changes, so she was not surprised by Trump’s comments, but s he added that her government would proceed with preparations. “on the part of the To kyo metropolitan Government, cancellation is n ot an option,” s he said. sim [email protected]

through a joint task force set up in february. “The IoC will continue to fol- low the advice of WHo, as the leading United Nations agency on this topic,” i t said. mainichi and other Japanese media interpreted that comment

as opening the door to a possible postponement or cancellation, es- pecially after the WHo this week declared the virus outbreak a p andemic. Cracks have also begun to ap- pear on Japan’s previously united front over the G ames after a n exec- utive board member of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee said that a postponement might be the most feasible option if the virus prevents the Games from going ahead and that organizers should start considering such a possibili-

may to decide whether the Games should go ahead but suggested a cancellation was more likely than a postponement. officially, though, the IoC continues to in- sist it is not even talking about postponing or canceling the Games, which are due to run from July 24 t o Aug. 9. on Thursday, the IoC held a ceremony to light the olympic flame on the site of ancient olym- pia in Greece and start the torch relay t o To kyo. T he p ublic was kept away because of concerns about the coronavirus, but IoC Presi- dent Thomas Bach called i t a dem- onstration of the organization’s “full commitment” to the success of the To kyo Games. “We remain absolutely in line with our Japanese hosts in our commitment to delivering a safe olympic Games in July this year,” he said. But on friday, the Greek olympic Committee suspended the remainder of the torch relay t hrough the country. The handover of the flame to the To kyo 2020 organizing committee i s still scheduled to take place next week, without spectators. In a statement Thursday, the IoC said it remained in close con- tact with the World Health organization, the h ost city of To kyo, t he government of Japan and the To- kyo 2020 organizing committee

“maybe they postpone it for a
year,” he said. “maybe that’s not
possible. I guess it’s never
h appened with the o lympics.”
Trump said it might be b etter t o
delay t han to hold the G ames w ith
“empty stadiums all over the
place,” but he said Japan would
have to make its own decision.
“If you cancel it, make it a year
later,” he said. “That’s a better al-
ternative than doing it with no
crowd.”
Within hours, Abe was on the
phone with the president, al-
though Japan’s government said
the 50-minute call had been made
at Trump’s request to discuss ef-
forts t o contain the c oronavirus.
Japan’s mainichi newspaper
said Trump did not mention post-
poning the olympics or holding
them without spectators, citing
Naoki o kada, deputy chief c abinet
secretary, who sat in o n the call.
“Pm Abe stated that Japan is
making its effort to host the olym-
pic Games,” said a senior govern-
ment official who was not autho-
rized to be named. “In response,
President Trump expressed h is ap-
preciation for the transparent
e fforts in t his regard.”
