#Senior dreams

From Sabrina Ionescu, Myles Powell, Udoka Azubuike, Kerry Blackshear .Jr, the entire Dayton Flyers basketball team, and every other NCAA student athlete whose Senior season was cut short due to the cancellation of the men's and women's NCAA tournaments.  The Coronavirus is bigger than sports but it has interrupted everyone's lives, including those NCAA student athletes whose dreams ended before a champion could be crowned.  With no NCAA tournaments or championships in any (winter or spring) collegiate sport their will be no buzzer beaters, no triple doubles, no home runs, no close finishes and no court storming.  Student athletes who have dreamt of nothing but a NCAA championship since birth, had those dreams ended early.  There was no clear favorite in this years men's tournament maybe it was Dayton's year or Seaton Hall or any of the other 68 teams that would have been in the tournament.  Sabrina Ionescu who is the all-time leader in triple doubles for the Pac-12 conference and the only collegiate player man or women to score 2,000, 1,000 assists and 1,000 rebounds, who came back for her senior year won't get to hoist that championship trophy.  It must have been a weird feeling with a mix of emotions to either be playing or done with your conference tournament and hear that your season is over and your college basketball dreams have come to an end for 2020.  The NCAA might grant an extra year of eligibility to winter and spring athletes but that will pose roster problems with incoming athletes.  This has happened to every athlete in every school large or small in the country, remember this when you see a senior because their experience ended early.
