How Do You Feel About March Madness Being Cancelled?

For some fans March Madness is a regular routine for others it’s like Christmas.

Why? Because we get to fill out a bracket , make picks for each round all the way to the Final Four where the nets will be cut down and a national champion will be crowned.

Though this year the season was cut short because of the Corona Virus Outbreak.

Because of that I ask this question? How do you feel about the conference tournaments as well as the NCAA Tournament being cancelled?

Mad, sad disappointed?

Me I’m devastated !

Why? Because I watch every regular season game particularly Duke as well as other teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference to prepare myself for March to fill out a bracket for the sixty eight teams that have the same goal. What goal is that? To cut down the nets at Final Four and be crowned national champions. But we’re not the only ones who feel the effects of March Madness not being played this year as the student athletes do as well. .

Some student athletes said how they felt via social media.

Tre Jones of Duke said it doesn’t seem real on his twitter page while his teammates used emoji’s to express his disappoint as Matthew hurt used a crying emoji and broken heart while Cassius Stanley shared a post that said Breaking News from Sports Center writing heartbreaking but the right thing to do with a sad emoji.

My hope is that next season we can have March Madness and crown a national champion because it’s one of the greatest times of the year that teams in every conference prepare for throughout the season.
