Easy Question: What do these 13 teams have in common?
UConn
Dayton
N.C. State
DePaul
Maryland
IUPUI
Boise State
S.E. Missouri State
Oregon
South Carolina
Samford
South Dakota
Portland
Obvious Answer: They all qualified for the NCAA Championship AND won their final game!
Ordinarily, only one DI team gets to end their season that way. I have no doubt that every one of the 13 would rather risk losing than having the tournament cancelled, but it happened. Nothing anybody can do about that.
At least these 13 got to cut down the nets, shower in confetti, hoist a trophy, don Conference championship shirts and caps. That's something to smile about.
I feel worse for the teams whose Conference tournaments got cancelled. For them, there's no happy memory to fall back on. No closure.
