The America East Conference on the morning of Thursday, March 12 canceled the championships for the men's and women's basketball tournaments that were scheduled to take place Friday and Saturday.

By Thursday afternoon, the NCAA canceled all winter and spring championships.

That presumably ended the careers for the men's and women's basketball seniors in the America East Conference and for college basketball seniors across the country.

The Hartford and Vermont men's basketball teams were scheduled to play in the America East Championship on Saturday morning, so on Saturday, the America East named the seniors from those teams as the 2020 Men's Basketball America East Playoffs All-Championship Team.

The tweet announcing the team started by saying, "In honor of those whose last #AEHoops game went unplayed."

The Vermont seniors named to the 2020 Men's Basketball America East Playoffs All-Championship Team are Everett Duncan, Daniel Giddens, Anthony Lamb, and Josh Speidel.

The Hartford men's basketball seniors named to the team are Romain Boxus, Traci Carter, Malik Ellison, Petr Stepanyants, and Key Sullivan.

The Stony Brook and Maine women's basketball teams were scheduled to play for the America East Conference tournament championship on Friday, and the conference granted the same gesture to the women's seniors by naming them as the 2020 Women's Basketball America East Playoffs All-Championship Team.
