Gonzaga is the 20th undefeated team to make the men’s NCAAT. Seven have run the table, 12 have been picked off. A history lesson on how all of their Big Dance trips went and how the Zags stack up with six more wins needed to reach sports immortality. https://t.co/d1VDY8MlrB

Everything Else
Exactly one year ago today, everything seemed normal: Sports were being played. Fans were in attendance. High-fives were exchanged …
And then the Ivy league canceled its basketball tournament.
Within 48 hours, sports stopped. https://t.co/jhw1JYWdRr
