David Matlin, UH Athletics Director
I'm sure it was a difficult decision for the Big West Conference, as it was for both the Ivy League and MAC, which have also taken measures with COVID-19.  I particularly feel for our dedicated fans who have sacrificed their time and resources to make their way to Anaheim to support our men's and women's basketball programs. Regardless, this will not hinder our teams from representing the state of Hawai'i with a championship mindset. 
 
Laura Beeman, UH Women's Basketball Head Coach
All season long our players have played for the person to their left and to their right. With the announcement from the BWC regarding canceling fan participation for the tournament this mantra will resonate louder than ever. The health and welfare of everyone is always our first concern. Whether there are fans in the seats or not, we will not be alone. Aloha cannot be stopped.
 
Eran Ganot, UH Men's Basketball Head Coach
Obviously, it's disappointing that we won't be able to play in front of our tremendous fans, our band, cheerleaders and dancers who always travel so well in support of us. Right now, we are only concerned with what we can control. Despite the unique situation, our focus will continue to be on preparing for the tournament and putting forward the best performance we can.
