What the NCAA should have done was hold the tournament, have Winthrop show up for their first round game, then cancel it 30 minutes before tipoff.MikeUMA wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:02 am Winthrop won their conference tourney this year and got an automatic big to the NCAA Tournament, which was then cancelled.
