There will be no need for replacement teams in the NCAA Tournament.
"The deadline for replacement teams has passed," NCAA vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt said Wednesday, according to Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated. Gavitt added, "None of the 68 teams have had to withdraw."
Louisville, Colorado State, Saint Louis, and Ole Miss were selected as the replacement teams should one of the programs in the field of 68 have to withdraw.
Virginia is the only team in the field yet to arrive in Indianapolis, as the defending champion from the 2019 tournament is currently in quarantine following its withdrawal from the ACC tourney. The Cavaliers will arrive Friday and immediately be tested for COVID-19. They will be subject to three tests before taking the floor against Ohio on Saturday.
The NCAA rules for participation in the tournament require seven days of negative testing for people in each program's traveling party, and each roster must have five eligible players to participate.
