вЂњI donвЂ™t think itвЂ™s going to happen,вЂќ said Wetzell, who turns 24 in July. And now thereвЂ™s no bracket to know who would have made it. Letting all seniors return, especially those whose seasons ended and werenвЂ™t going to the NCAA Tournament, doesnвЂ™t seem equitable.

The NCAA hasnвЂ™t completely closed the door, but its announcement Sunday that it will not release the 68-team bracket makes it less likely. I think I was just hitting my stride toward the end of the season.вЂќ I played against 23-year-olds all during college, so I donвЂ™t think thatвЂ™s too old for the college game. вЂњThe way it ended, if Coach Dutch (Brian Dutcher) would have me back I would gladly come back and play another year,вЂќ said Feagin, who overcame a slow start after missing all but two games of the previous season at Santa Clara with hand and foot injuries. There have been sentimental suggestions of granting an extra year of eligibility to seniors robbed of an opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament, something already approved for seniors in spring sports. The NBA Summer League isnвЂ™t until July, but the NBA might be not be finished with its season by then. The NBA Draft combine is scheduled for late May in Chicago but that, like everything else in life, remains in limbo. The Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, the top postseason scouting event for college seniors in late April, has already been canceled. вЂњFor the next few weeks,вЂќ Feagin said, вЂњIвЂ™m just going to try to get some rest, kind of hit reset a little bit and get my hunger back for the game. ItвЂ™s a realization that this is just how life is sometimes.вЂќ YouвЂ™ve got to take the good for what it was and try to salvage the most of whatвЂ™s to come. I donвЂ™t know who to blame, you know? I donвЂ™t have anyone to blame or put this on. вЂњItвЂ™s just tough, itвЂ™s just really tough right now. Some days IвЂ™ve been good, some days IвЂ™ve been really bad. Then the next few itвЂ™s kind of disbelief and a big slap in the face. вЂњItвЂ™s just been a weird few days,вЂќ Feagin said softly. The tone and texture of their words articulated what their sentences couldnвЂ™t. Their voices were deeper and slower and quieter than usual, a mix of melancholy and exasperation, stripped of anticipation and hope. ItвЂ™s a year weвЂ™re going to look back on for the rest of our lives and think: What if? вЂ¦ I donвЂ™t know what else to say.вЂќ ItвЂ™s going to take us a while to get over. For that not to be an option any more is a dagger. вЂњOur biggest goal was to go to the NCAA Tournament and make a deep run. They wanted to play for a greater cause, and thatвЂ™s to win games. If KJ and Mal were happy averaging 20 points a game and getting minutes, that would be a sense of selfishness. вЂњThereвЂ™s a reason why we left, just because we loved to win so much. вЂњThe three of us, we all came from losing programs,вЂќ Wetzell said. 6 in both major polls вЂ¦ a probable 2 seed with a geographically favorable road to the Final Four вЂ¦ a university and city on their shoulders вЂ¦ their last chance. So did Malachi Flynn, the Washington State transfer who has a year of eligibility remaining but is expected to test the NBA Draft waters and may be gone as well.ДЄ 30-2 record вЂ¦ No. This was their last chance, transferring to SDSU with the primary goal of experiencing March Madness. He didnвЂ™t play in the 67-65 loss against Houston in Wichita, Kan., in 2018, but he got to experience Selection Sunday, felt the excitement at Intrust Bank Arena, felt the agony of Rob GrayвЂ™s last-second shot.ДЇeagin and Wetzell never had. Narain, at least, was part of an NCAA Tournament team as a sophomore at SDSU. As soon as I saw the news, I realized it was over. вЂњI knew it was coming, but you hold that little bit of hope that it still goes through,вЂќ Wetzell said in his first interview since the NCAA canceled March Madness with a two-sentence statement at 1:16 p.m. You hoist the desperation shot from midcourt fully thinking it is going in. No season is over until you lose in the conference or NCAA tournament. Deep down, the senior forwards from San Diego State knew the NCAA was probably next.Д«ut theyвЂ™re athletes, theyвЂ™re college basketball players, theyвЂ™re wired differently. A few hours later, the NBA suspended all games after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. They went across the street to a Mediterranean restaurant to grab lunch.ДЄ day earlier, the NCAA had announced the menвЂ™s and womenвЂ™s basketball tournaments would be played without fans.
