Per WRAL, no ACC teams will participate in NCAA tournament if it is held.

I don't know how reputable (or current) it was, but my friend saw that Bovada had "YES the tournament will be canceled" at -220. I would have cashed out what little money is left in my 401k to bet on that.

Too late NCAA. You’re not getting any more emotion outta me. I’m already over it.

I honestly hope they go through with seeding and selection, anyway. Illinois, Rutgers, and a couple of other resurgent teams deserve acknowledgement that they did well enough to get into the field.

Are we even allowed to turn the calendars to May without having had an NCAA tournament in March/April? Folks, we might be frozen in the second week of March forever.

Just cancelled my rental car and hotel for Final Four. It's all too real now.

WORST MARCH EVER

I heard on the radio there are coaches on the horn with their agents wondering about bonuses and such. Wouldn't surprise me if they do the selection show for the hell of it.

Cancel culture is really out of control.

How’s your kiddo taking it? I don’t think you guys will have Ayo back next year but things are looking up. Does that help?

Since the tournament is #cancelled, I think it would be cool if the CBS family of networks ran the best 63 [televised] tournament games of all times in its place.

Stiff upper lip initially, but showed some anger/sadness later...we’ll see how the bedtime conversation goes. School cancellation just softened the blow.

Fantastic idea!

I still remember when UCLA won in 95 (I was 8). I had gone to a bunch of the home games with my grandparents and/or my mom and had watched all the other games on TV. I had "Ed O" (for Ed O'Bannon) shaved into the back of my head. The feeling of euphoria when they won the championship is hard to describe (and probably way higher than it would be if they won a championship now).

Hopefully your boy gets an Illini championship in the next 5 or so years.

I don't Twitter, but if anybody else does...tweet that at CBS Sports.

State’s best team ever and the tourney gets cancelled. A heartbreaking end to a great college basketball season.
