‘Devastating’: Arizona’s historic season abruptly ends as NCAA Tournament gets canceled due to coronavirus

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Another tragedy was not supposed to put an end to an NCAA Tournament appearance for the Arizona Wildcats.

Yet, there it was. An announcement by the NCAA that all winter and spring sporting events had been canceled, and a single word from Adia Barnes:

Just after 2 p.m. MST, the NCAA announced that all competition had been canceled effective immediately. That meant no NCAA tournaments for either the women or the men, and no more regular season games for spring sports like softball.

For the women of Arizona basketball, it is especially devastating.
