The NCAA canceled its upcoming Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, the NCAA announced Thursday.
“This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities,” the NCAA said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, conferences like the Big Ten, ACC, SEC and the Big East all canceled their conference tournaments.
