College basketball season (and every other college postseason for that matter) is over.
The NCAA announced the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday afternoon after the remaining conference tournaments also shut down. The decision also cancels all other NCAA Championship events, including wrestling, where OSU was set to have nine athletes compete.
That ruling paired with the Big 12 shutting down regular-season competitions through March 29 means the baseball, softball, tennis, golf, track and equestrian seasons are all currently in a weird limbo. The decision comes because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“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 its release.
