If not then BYU did not make the tournament.

No there won't be. What a sad end to an amazing season.

I am disappointed in the cancellation of sports but I think it was a wise thing to do. While I don't believe the Corona virus is terribly deadly, it is terribly contagious and we all need to be wise about trying to contain it. Too bad for the players that worked so hard this season. I'm sorry for them, more than myself not getting to watch the tourney.

I definitely think they should have selected a bracket, even though the tournament wasn’t going to be played. They definitely would have, if several of the conference tournaments hadn’t been canceled.

The committee members had gone home do they could not do one.

There is so much lost money that there’s a chance they do one later in the year. At least I can hope it happens.

A lot of schools' sports programs rely on the money NCAA provides them. The NCAA tourney was the biggest money driver for the league. Next year is going to be painful for many schools.

Even within the WCC, some of the smaller schoola rely on the revenue Gonzaga and others bring in.

That's awesome! Definitely how I envisioned it going down.

First round game. They do not run our offense, the sideline reporter talked to Coach Rose and Worthington subbed into the game.

I hope to wake up in a couple of weeks and find an announcement by the NCAA that they are going to go ahead with the tournament in June. Let those that graduate still play, modify it as you need to to make it happen, but play it. The summer is so boring spirts wise anyway, it would be huge. Come on, we need our sports.
