BREAKING: The NCAA Tournament is officially canceled

The NCAA Tournament has officially been canceled.

This afternoon, the NCAA officially announced it has canceled all remaining winter and spring championships.

“Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships,” the NCAA said in a statement. “This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.
