Yesterday (Thursday 3/19) would have been the start of the highly anticipated NCAA March Madness college basketball tournament, but due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, all sports games have been cancelled for the time being. 

The NCAA officially cancelled both the Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments on March 12th stating that the decision was made in the interest of public health, including that of coaches, administrators, fans and, most importantly, the student-athletes. 

While many college sports fans may be very disappointed and wonder what is there to watch on TV now, do not worry, there is now an easy way to watch past tournaments!

The NCAA was uploaded many vintage or classic games to their YouTube channel for fans to watch and reminisce on some of the most famous moments in college basketball history.
