It’s happening, folks. If you love the sound of squeaking basketball sneakers and humans screaming f bombs, you are in for one hell of an NCAA Tournament because the entire thing will be played without fans. Essential staff and limited family attendance will be allowed.

Unlike every person who has a social media account, I am not an expert on the coronavirus, so I don’t know if this is the right decision or not. What I do know is I will sit my ass on the couch next week with limited movement for a full 4 days watching all the madness March has to offer, and I will wash my hands.
You know what I won’t do? I will not become a coronavirus expert, and I will not eat or drink healthy or exercise because calories do not count during the NCAA Tournament.
What a wild time in American history.
