Virginia has a COVID case - out of ACCT - potential SU impact?

[ApexSUFan]

Woldetensae is my guess.

That would be my guess as well...

 

[pearl31]

Here it is.

well that's a big nothing burger

Duke self selected out

Yep. If Duke was good enough to be in they wouldn’t have canceled the rest of the season.

 

[Chris02M]

I suspect you are correct, but just asking out of curiosity...did the two teams with positive tests use the same locker room at different times? No big deal!

only staffers at the arena and members of the program would know if they shared spaces

 

[Bayside44]

Thing I don’t get is how was Duke out due to covid (tho they weren’t getting selected anyways) but Virginia might be in.

Duke didn't get fired, they quit

 

[690West]

Woldetensae is my guess.

Yup. He played 15 minutes

HIPAA and Buckley Amendment. They're supposed to be working on trying to save the season.

effectively saying "the NIT is below us"...

Which if we can be honest, it kind of is for most top programs. People here often want us to decline NIT invites, and especially this year? What Duke did makes a lot of sense.

 

[Sherman20]

replacement teams will only be made for teams that have to drop out prior to 6pm Tuesday night. After that, the opponent just moves forward as we’ve seen in the ACCT.

Yikes. This is terrible. The tournament is gonna be a mess. They should have done like TBT did and created a 14 day quarantine bubble. There’s not enough time between the end Of the conference tourneys and the start of the NCAAs.

there is more time than normal since 1st four isnt until thursday

If a team cannot play due to failing COVID they should be given the right to appoint a substitute team. If Virginia can't play, they still retain their spot on the bracket with the seeding, they can then say pick another team to play for them. If they pick us we would be called "the Syracuse Orange on behalf of the Virginia Cavaliers".

Why not? Still sounds 200% better than the Michigan State Spartans wearing pocket rocket mortgage.

What if the positive test dude at Duke was Jalen Johnson who left already?

[jgeorge322]

Im not reading through this thread but doesnt the only thing that matter is we test negative? We havent heard about any positive cuse tests? Might be a blessing in disguise that we had positive tests earlier in the year.

 

[Knicks411]

Duke tested positive AFTER their game too, seems like there should have been testing BEFORE the games, no?

I believe they're testing every day? They were (probably?) tested after their game the day before

Especially this year.

The players and the coaches are under pretty big restrictions; if the choice was between keeping those restrictions on to play in the NIT, or, well, not doing that, the choice seems kinda easy to me.

 

[upperdeck]

all the more reason to mask up as soon as possible off the court

 

[Chris02M]

is it 5 oclock in your mind?

and all the players unis had contract tracing devices sewn in

Duke self selected out

they knew they out, and saved the committee the trouble

 

[storange]

I know of Duke, UVa and N C A @ T. as the three teams that I know of . That’s 3 out of how many teams. In this bizarre year that’s pretty good of all those teams playing conf. tourneys. Kind of an overreaction here because the ACC and SU are effected. Think the NCAA s will be all right , certainly not normal IMO

 

[Cuse1055]

Now Kansas is out ugh.

 

[bballbeadle]

Here it is.

So sorry, Hoo! This is such a gut punch for both our teams, but yours especially. What a roller coaster ride! I wish you and your team the very best. You are a great poster here.
