Arizona is the latest to self-impose a 2021 postseason ban, but the NCAA needs to show that's not enough The Wildcats try to get ahead of possible penalties, but if the NCAA is serious about punishing cheating, it shouldn't work this way USATSI Arizona played well Monday in an 88-74 win over Colorado that improved the Wildcats to 7-1. They moved up to No. 37 at KenPom. They moved up to No. 46 at Torvik. They looked like a possible NCAA Tournament team. But they will not be an NCAA Tournament team. The news was delivered to the players Tuesday morning, then announced to the public via a released statement Tuesday afternoon -- specifically that Arizona is self-imposing a one-year postseason ban effective immediately in an attempt to get what is sure to be a serious punishment from the NCAA in the rearview mirror as soon as possible. Arizona said it believes this decision is in "the best long-term interests of the university and the men's basketball program," and I can acknowledge that's probably true given the way these things typically work. But, as I've said and written many times, most recently when Auburn self-imposed its own one-year postseason ban last month, this is not something that should be allowed.
