This has been the most unpredictable and, in many ways, the most miserable college basketball season ever.
Hundreds of games were postponed as COVID-19 infections spread. Players at some schools opted not to play and more than a dozen programs shut down for the winter.
And with few or no fans in the stands, the games have lacked atmosphere that even the fake crowd noise and fan cutouts can't paper over.
Powerhouses such as Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State and Kentucky have struggled and it's possible that some won't make the NCAA tournament.
