The big news yesterday, the NCAA has announced their plans to hold the men’s college basketball tournament in a bubble similar to what the NBA did this year to get the games in. The entire run of March Madness will likely be played in Indianapolis. The Final Four was already scheduled to be in the state’s capital, but now the league hopes to play all games at different venues throughout the city to keep players in a controlled environment . Officials believe this is the best option for a safe tournament and the league says they hope to mirror the success of the NBA with their format this past year.
