In this March 18, 2017, file photo, an official game ball with the March Madness logo sits in the court
during a second-round men’s college basketball game between Villanova and Wisconsin in the NCAA
Tournament in Buffalo, N.Y. Coaches did the best they could to prepare for the big moment, yet still
find themselves in a scramble once it actually happened. The NCAA announced last month that the season
would begin on Nov. 25 and teams are still trying to fill all the holes in their schedules. (AP
