The Tournament That Wasn’t

On Thursday, March 12, 2020, the NCAA college basketball season came to an end.  20 conference tournaments that had not yet been completed were cancelled (including the Ivy League whose cancellation was announced two days earlier).  The NCAA Tournament was cancelled.  The coronavirus and COVID-19 brought virtually all sports in America to a standstill, and for the first time since its inception, March Madness was not going to be played.  We here at HoopsHD are college hoops junkies.  We cannot get enough of this stuff.  And while we agree that the decisions made were the right ones, we also wonder, what would have happened if the coronavirus had not struck.  Well, wonder no more!  Over the next several weeks, we will be simulating out every cancelled conference tournament game, creating a Field of 68 that takes those results into account, and then playing out March Madness until a champion is crowned!

Keep an eye on the site on a regular basis for games and updates, and check out the “The Tournament That Wasn’t” link above for all of the details and each and every game.

They may have cancelled the games, but they can never cancel our love for the sport.

Be safe.  Stay healthy.  There will always be another Shining Moment.
