Ga Tech has a Covid

[OrangeDW]

That would suck to wait 11 years for the tourney and get covid.

Agreed. I was already thinking they got a bad draw. They’re clearly better than their seed as is Loyola, and the winner of that gets the hottest team in the country. Brutal.

Trying to figure how GT didn’t get Clemson’s 7 seed?

It looks like the Cards are heading to Texas. Up to 5 positive tests now.

thought they passed on the NIT...

ya, seeding for some teams were odd to say the least. Possibly relied to heavily on the NET.

Maybe. They definitely are not going back to Indiana.

Deadline passes, Louisville basketball's NCAA Tournament hopes snuffed

U of L would have been the first replacement team in the NCAA Tournament field if a bid-getter bowed out by 6 p.m. Tuesday, but none did.

Yep.

NCAA tournament snubs Louisville, Duke among teams to turn down NIT

The rewards of the NIT simply aren't enough for some programs to carry on with increased COVID-19 risk.

Hopes shattered by a damn bug! Well, maybe not a bug, but the frustration has to be severe. I feel sorry for them.

Kenny Anderson. No tears shed

 

[realorange]

Why would he look happy about it?

If it was a manager or other support staff he wouldn't have cared as much.

Ooof

not ideal. that oaf for Loyola gonna feast - maybe Pastner will just have Alvarado buzz around him all game

 

[OrangeDW]

Ooof

Well...I’m changing my first round winner in that one. Shame for GT - terrible draw and now this. They’re the kind of team with the right matchups and good luck that could make a run. They’re tough.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Ooof

 

[Orangezoo]

Wow that really sucks. GT with their best season in years, kid works his ass off to turn into a beast and now likely never sees an NCAAT game ( assuming he goes pro and doesn't use extra year).

 

[llandz]

Darn. I have brackets already in that can not be changed.
Also how is it only 1 game?
Did COVID speed up?

 

[HoustonCuse]

Why are all these positive cases in the ACC??

The whole weekend...

Such a tough break for Tech. Krutwig and Kofi are arguably the best 2 bigs in the tourney after Garza; Wright had a real chance to slow them
Down. Now they have no shot

 

[NineOneSeven]

7?

 

[Bball44]

Yet Duke made it known they were available for at-large bid.

 

[bpo57]

This is one of the treacherous aspects of betting college sports. Unlike the professionals, college teams are under no obligation to provide player status re injuries etc. The Loyola line moved from -2 to -4.5 with no news and is now -6. When in doubt it's probably best to wait til right up near game time.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Unless you bet Loyola .. now you can bet Tech and win both

 

[Bayside44]

Her second sentence is irresponsible. Dead on with the 3rd sentence though...
