Conference USA Tournament postponed due to coronavirus

Conference USA Tournament postponed due to coronavirus

- one of the many local events- held hostage by the on-going- corona-virus pandemic... is thi- year's conference u-s-a - tournament.

- a tournament that was supposed- to start today... - with the southern miss golden - eagles coming in... as the- two-time reigning champions.- the black and gold have never - missed championship - sunday, at m-g-m park... where- they most recently- dispatched florida atlantic,- 4-nothing... to win their third- league crown, in four years.- ever since the c-u-s-a- tournament arrived in biloxi, - in 20-17... u-s-m has gone- 12-3... in front of a black and- gold crowd- better known... as pete taylor- park south.

- in a normal world... head coach- scott berry would've- already turned in his first - line- up card, of the - tournament.

- instead... he's off catching- large mouth bass... with- assistant - coach christian ostrander.- - "starting yesterday when we - would have- our head coaches meeting and go- over the tournament rules and - everything that's - pre-tournament festivities.

To- not have that today or during - this time of year is- certainly different than what - i've experienced in a long, lon- time.

You see a lot of black- and gold when we're playing - there at mgm, and the tournamen- has been there the- last three years and we've been- fortunate to be in the- championship all three- years, giving our fan base, the- city of biloxi and the coast an- opportunity to come - watch golden eagle baseball."
