Monday marks two weeks since March 16 – the day the bracket for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament was scheduled to be released.
Western Kentucky was hopeful to hear its name called, whether with an automatic berth by winning the Conference USA Tournament or with an at-large bid, which had been projected by several bracketologists throughout the season.
But that didn’t happen. None of it did.
The C-USA Tournament was canceled March 12, in its second day, roughly three hours before the Lady Toppers were scheduled to tip off in their tournament opener against Charlotte, and the NCAA announced the cancellation of the remaining spring and winter championships later that afternoon due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
