Wait, if the tourney is canceled, does that make Kansas de facto champs?

Also all spring sports it sounds like. Which I guess is obvious if they're canceling their biggest money maker.

I just discovered Dayton lost a national championship game in the 60s wondering if this was their best team ever.

So...still maybe? Record's better this year.

Arkansas’ game last night finished at like 1130 eastern, unsure what all else got played yesterday

Could also say St Johns was in the lead when that game got cancelled

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Feels like they should at least give us a bracket so we have something to bitch about generally and also to see how bad they would have hosed over Dayton.

Dayton and SDSU in the same region so only one could theoretically make it to the final four

vcu, who definitely would’ve won an at-large bid after going on a tear in the a-10 tourney that didn’t happen, would probably have gone on a cinderella run after our threes starting falling again

Kansas definitely would've won it all instead of get its rear end kicked in the Sweet Sixteen by some random team that Self refused to defend from the perimeter.

Still kinda surreal. Not just the tournament but all the other stuff going on too. Sucks for Dayton and SDSU, and other teams like that that aren't at this level every year. But man did Roy get bailed out.

I really thought the "teams, staff and family" approach was going to work decently enough, but having one and then another NBA player test positive was enough to realize that, yeah, this can't be done.

Virginia came within a game of winning the ACC in a rebuilding year. Next year they will be rebuilt.

If Gonzaga returns everyone that will be the best team I've ever seen from them. They would have to be favorites.

They bring a lot back unless some players leave early but 3 of their top 6 guys were seniors. Including Tillie who I think was their best player when he was healthy. They tend to reload pretty well though, and they have their best recruit ever coming in so that plus Krispert/Petrusev/Ayayi should be a title caliber team.

Iowa overachieved this year but I feel really good about next season. Garza may not ever play like he did at his peak this year again but if he comes back, surrounding him with a healthy Bohannon, Weiskamp (who hopefully remembers how to shoot over the course of the off-season, his slump killed us down the stretch) and Frederick should be a pretty killer offense.

Gonna be a one-two punch of Kansas having a possibly champion team (I mean, eh, we can't hit enough three pointers, but whatever) get thwarted by coronavirus to sanctions next year, and I should be my saltiest but much like this year I'll probably just be more worried about other stuff.
