“News: VCU's home game tonight vs. Fordham will be played without fans in the stands, a source tells @CBSSports,” Matt Norlander said in a post. “School leaders made the decision b/c the Siegel Center doesn't have running water (Richmond has been dealing with water issues for days) and it's a public safety issue.”

VCU men’s basketball will host Wednesday’s game against Fordham without spectators due to the ongoing water outage and boil advisory in Richmond, Va., where VCU is located. The university announced the decision Wednesday afternoon just hours before the scheduled 7 p.

VCU defeated Fordham 73-61 at the Siegel Center in Richmond, Virginia, in their Atlantic 10 home opener. The game, played without spectators due to a water crisis in the city, saw VCU pull away in the second half with a dominant performance on the boards.
