Ga Tech has a Covid

Doesn't specify player or just a travel party member...

Does that mean the individual can't participate or the team can't participate? I'm still confused by this!

 

[Orangezoo]

The bigger issue for them will be subsequent tests now. They will make the cutoff but it's what happens after that could be an issue.

Might not be a bad idea to have a pinned NCAA tourney CoVid thread as these start rolling in..

I can't find the tweet again but it said no members of the travel party where impacted by contact tracing and that person who tested positive traveled separately to Indy.

So good signs for them

My understanding is they need 5 available players. Now whether they need to quarantine the whole team for contact tracing is something I'm not sure about in this situation. If not, they need at least 5 who can play. Basically I'm not sure either.

Clearly the ACC tournament was a problem. Really hoping that we aren't affected.

yeah. today-tomorrow are kind of the "magic" days as far as our team's exposure to UVA last week

Mark packer said he keeps hearing it’s a “prominent player” but who knows

 

[justgold315]

When are they going to release which player?

 

[upperdeck]

I doubt they do.. more likely it gets leaked once they have a practice.

 

[ROCuse]

When are they going to release which player?

Never. But we'll know who it is at 4:00 on Friday.

I've been holding my breath since the UVA news broke.

There was an interview on ESPN with Alvarado and he didn't look too happy talking about it.

But now we know it’s not him, and that’s good info.

But if it's either Devoe or Wright they are toast.

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

 

[Chris02M]

were good to go

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

Why would he look happy about it?

 

[Marty McFly]

has to be someone significant if he's upset. If it's a walk on or team trainer I doubt that would move the needle that much...

Is Louisville officially out of the Tournament now? Wasn’t there a set time today for any replacement teams to fill in for a Covid issue?

Is Louisville officially out of the Tournament now? Wasn’t there a set time today for any replacement teams to fill in for a Covid issue?

I think it’s 11PM tonight?

And remember - a team can still play as long as they have at least 5 guys. They don’t even need a coaching staff technically.

it was very unlikely a team would bail out unless they had a wide spread infection in which 8+ players had issues

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

2021 NCAA Tournament: Five positive tests for COVID-19, but no replacement teams expected to be needed

Louisville would have been the first to replace a team who withdrew from the tournament
