*NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT TO BE PLAYED WITHOUT FANS

 

[DilemaCuse]

I know theres better to be safe than sorry but this just seems amazing to me
Ivy league starts and then its monkey see monkey do everybody feels they have to show they are responding
ive heard both sides of the argument
I just feel if your over 70 maybe you want to avoid it, otherwise play on and let the fans that want to attend

I wonder how the players feel?

with no fans I feel this hurts the underdog who wont have a neutral crowd get behind them in the 2nd half

Are they really going to play the Final 4 in massive Mercedes Benz? I cant believe the NCAA caved on their cash cow, I imagine tickets will have to be refunded.

I feel they caved based on liability fear, someone sues who claims they caught it while attending a game

Good for them. Smart move.

So much for playing for a home court advantage.

Will it be on tv ?

We picked a good year to miss the dance.

Maybe so. But I think Syracuse should refuse to participate over this fiasco.

Is this a serious question? If it weren't on TV, they wouldn't be playing it at all.

Just making sure!!

Our team isn't bad they're just smart enough not to risk infection by making the tournament.

That's my spin and I'm sticking to it.

Too bad for UConn that they wont make the tourney. Their players are used to playing in front of nobody and getting zero boost from any kind of fan support. They would’ve felt right at home.

Hopefully I get a full refund on my tickets purchased including my service charges. I am very surprised but understand. I feel really bad for the hotel and restaurant owners in the host cities, like Albany.

if Uconn can win their crappy conference tournament the NCAA games would now be like a home game for them. Big advantage for teams with no fans

I can't believe you would not get a refund. The NCAA cancelled the fan part of the tournament. It's not that you decided not to go.

Headlines all over: MARCH SADNESS!!!

Yes it is.

The Final Four inside an empty Dome is going to be the most surreal and strange thing ever.

So basically because the government can’t freaking contain this disease it has caused mass freakout.
This is terrible.
