Same with Rutgers. The men's team hadn't been to March Madness since 1991 and they were finally going to qualify in 2020. Thankfully they did make it in 2021.
Jay Wright had no idea that the rest of the Big East tournament got called off due to the coronavirus pandemic when one of the CDC officials told the Villanova Wildcats men's basketball team you've got to get out of New York had no idea the March madness got called off that was really bad for men's and women's basketball history
I blame Rudy Gobert, his stupidity messing around getting the virus because he wasn't taking any precautions seriously really got the ball rolling for everything to get shut down.
2020 was a crazy year. Sports get cancelled for months, covid spreads, people die, some countries go into lockdown. It looks like things are getting better in 2021. Glad March madness is back.
@@ghost_of_comments_past Yes I heard about Event 201. I've listened to a guy talk about it and I wonder what really goes on in the world. But it was a simulation to help prepare for a pandemic. I have a hard time believing it was planned for people to die. If that's the case wouldn't that be considered as genocide?
It was a horrible year from the start. Ranging from losing Kobe Bryant to a helicopter crash, to the virus, to racial injustice riots spreading everywhere out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and all that.
Jay Wright was shocked the minute he got told 'You got to get out of New York!' when he learned of the rest of the Big East tournament getting cancelled.
Why not, in the summer, bring back all those rosters, and have the tournament in like August? I know some guys are in NBA/overseas/graduated, but you allow them to return. You bring whatever rosters you can re-assemble (minimum 8 players) and have the March madness 2020, in August 2022.
3 Years Ago In 2020. The 2020 NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Tournament Or NCAA March Madness 2020 Is Officially Cancelled Due To The COVID-19 Pandemic. The Cancellation Of The 2020 NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Tournament Is The Saddest Moment In NCAA March Madness And College Basketball History But In 2021. The NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Tournament Officially Resumes For Good And Revitalizes The Legacy Of March Madness.
@@AustinDickerson2001TigerYes we can beat them I’m taking about last Kansas should be the national championship we was overall #1 team before the COVID hit
@@JavelinJohnny785 we ended the 2019-2020 season ranked #1, on a 16 game winning streak, we had the best guard Devin Dotson, best big man Udoka Azubuike, and best defender Marcus Garrett, we definitely would’ve won it 🥺🤦🏾♂️
The 2020 NCAA tournament was NOT cancelled, it lasted for 10 days instead of the usual 3 weeks. It started on March 17, 2020 and sadly ended on March 27, 2020. It was great while it lasted.
Idk, this just strikes me as a bit weird. Like people have died in the last year, and yet we are hearing people talk about how they wish the tourney had just continued. Like, understandably it sucks for these athletes and their draft stock, and also just their competitive edge. But the way this looks, it just looks callous to the actual struggles going on that would consume the nation, especially in the medical field. Also along those same lines, the struggles that educators had to go through, just trying to teach children without infecting them with something, and keeping themselves safe. I love sports, dont get me wrong, but it isnt necessary for anything.
@@footballtalkwithfreddy8684 exactly. The NBA and NHL just postponed their playoffs until July/August. NCAA could've done the same thing and had July/August Madness instead.
The best thing COVID did...bcuz i can give 2 shits about college sports. HOWEVER I hope this season that all involved players coaches etc are staying healthy & safe.
It was absolutely prudent to cancel. If someone playing in a conference tournament _were to have died,_ God forbid, the leagues would have been sued. Big-time.

"You gotta get out of New York"
Someone had some incredible foresight here.
especially now
No one from this heart will ever forget the tragic story of how March Madness last year became March Sadness.
And it’s Fauci’s fault
nah it’s china’s
I blame Rudy Gobert, his stupidity messing around getting the virus because he wasn't taking any precautions seriously really got the ball rolling for everything to get shut down.
And it's NEVER happening again
I feel bad for the teams that made it last year, but didn’t make it this year.
The 2020 NCAA tournament would’ve been the best March Madness ever no doubt much teams that could’ve won that year!!
It was only shortened. It lasted for 10 days
@@danhobson24 It never started. Only a few of the conference championships were played to completion.

@@ghost_of_comments_past It gets better because cases and deaths are on the decline. Plus there's a vaccine. Not sure why you don't realize that.
@@ghost_of_comments_past So you think the virus is all some sort of conspiracy?

Damm, I thought it was about to end this year by reading the title 🤦🏾♂️
Y'all just Jinxed it yet again,Nice Going!!
Looking back on it the St. John’s game should’ve finished. If they played until halftime then they should’ve finished the game.
There is nothing more sad than wasted time and talent. However - going forward we learn not to take a season or a day of life for granted.
Hofstra was supposed to take part in the tournament but was expected to withdraw had the tournament gone ahead.

couldve been the best march madness ever. The top 5 teams changed weekly last year
Dayton would have won had the event been held as scheduled. Let's not forget that Obi Toppin was one of the best competitors in Division I.
Luke Garza was right: everyone thought Coronavirus was a joke at first
Sadly they were wrong

Cost my Jayhawks a probable natty. We were LOADED, Dotson, Azubiuke and most of the 22 title team on the bench

Kansas should be national championship because we end up as the overall #1 team that year
If you’re a Kansas supporter, you gotta be able to get past Eastern Washington in the first round.

Nah that would be just as lame as the way they used to just name a champion in football rather than actually having a championship game or playoff.
Kansas would have taken the top spot in Houston, which would have pushed Baylor to Indy.
We got 2020 madness instead
feel so bad for all the players that never got a chance to leave their mark in the tournament
Big day today so grateful it is happening this year
Wow... glad they brought this back up... almost forgot theres been a pandemic for the last year
It's too bad they couldn't have just played a delayed tournament in July or August kinda like the NBA and NHL did with their 2020 playoffs.
My boys from Ann Arbor winning the national championship 🏆
Now we know better. Shouldn’t ever be cancelled again

How do you figure?
@@jdb316 The News says it. You can look it up. Everyone knows that I am correct.
@@danhobson24 You're wrong. The tournament never began.
@@drewzuhosky6826yes it did. The tournament in 2020 actually happened even though it was only 10 days instead of the usual 20-30 days
Again, not so. Unless you live in an alternate universe that we don't know about, it never happened.
4 years later and seems like it was yesterday.
And why is it happening this year?
As a San Diego State fan, I couldn't imagine our best team ever being screwed over by anything less than a worldwide pandemic.
At least San Diego State is getting some level of redemption for getting robbed of 2020 as they're in the 2023 Final 4.
Dang dude Boston Unniversity had a chance, I can't believe it, too bad it got cancelled
Dayton who is always ok was having a monster year. They were 3 in the nation.
Had there been a tournament, Dayton vs. Gonzaga probably would have been the title game.
@@drewzuhosky6826 Hard to say if theres one thing we know about the NCAA tournament it is "We dont know anything lol"
Dayton has left the chat
Thanks for the reminder, Sheelah. 🥴

I think it was more of the tournament should of been postponed and not canceled.
And now in 2022, we realize how much of an overreaction it was

Madness
Free pick everyday
mn i was waitin on it
Everyone's infected but no one's sick...............But thanks for the laughs.
March madness- the worst time of the year for those of us who don’t give 2 shizits about hoop...
Please let it be over soon..
Fauci should be blamed for this.
Who knew it really didn’t have too.
all goberts fault
the whole year got cancelled
5 months were canceled
Don’t ever cancel basketball again I’m dead serious this is unacceptable
Looking back in hindsight, this was a giant waste of time. The pandemic is still going on and sports are going on. This was a huge overreaction
yeah cus the media made the virus out to be the worst than ebola on top of that there was so much disinformation about the virus and masks
@@jakoblarson4597 The real cause was Jazz center Rudy Gobert’s diagnosis details going public. Causing absolutely unnecessary panic.
