The Colorado Mesa University men's basketball team heads to the  64-team NCAA Division II tournament this weekend, but there will be no fans in the stands.

It has been a historic season for the CMU Mavericks. Unfortunately, most Maverick fans haven't been able to enjoy the games in person and that will be the case again this weekend at the NCAA  West Regional in Golden. No spectators will be allowed in Lockridge Arena for the tournament.

CMU Mavericks Earn Top Seed At Regional Tournament

Having no fans in the stands is unfortunate for fans and for the Mavericks, who won their second consecutive Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament title this past weekend. The Mavericks beat Colorado School of Mines  75-74 in an overtime thriller at Brownson Arena. In the process, the Mavs earned the top seed in the west region.

With an impressive 21-1 record, the Mavericks have made it to the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season, although last season's tournament was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year, the Mavs won their first regular-season title in 11  years under third-year head coach Mike DeGeorge.
