Villanova's Jay Wright Says CBB Season Is 'Up in the Air' Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

The 2019-20 men's and women's college basketball seasons were canceled March 12 prior to most conference tournaments and the NCAA tournaments because of public health and safety concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Villanova head men's coach Jay Wright wouldn't be surprised if those concerns impact the 2020-21 campaign.

"I can't see, right now, having fans [this upcoming season]," Wright told reporters Tuesday. "College basketball is up in the air."

The 58-year-old continued:

Wright's Wildcats were 24-7 and tied with Creighton and Seton Hall atop the Big East when the season was canceled.
