Cincinnati will no longer host NCAA men's basketball championship tournament games in 2022, the NCAA confirmed to The Enquirer.

The games will be moved to Indianapolis instead of being played at Heritage Bank Center, a decision that indicates long-talked about renovations to the 17,556 capacity riverfront venue aren't in the works.

"NCAA March Madness games scheduled for Cincinnati in 2022 are being moved to Indianapolis to allow more time for the newly-renamed Heritage Bank Center to complete current and future planned renovations," the NCAA said in a statement.
