VCU out due to covid

[kirbivore]

That's stinking awful. You gotta feel so bad for them. I hate this

I don’t. They got sloppy they pay the price. Now hit the bricks before SU gets infected

 

[UpstateSM]

So the A10 moved up all of their men’s tournament a week besides their title game because they didn’t want to lose the 1pm Selection Sunday CBS time slot.

That decision could cost them lots and lots of money

 

[Chris02M]

You Hold out the positive individuals and play on. How many times does this have to be said. Just cost these kids a chance at a National Championship.

if they did what you say we would never complete the tournament,

 

[Chris02M]

Going to have to wonder if this tournament counts if we lose tomorrow night

thats ridiculous

 

[UpstateSM]

thats ridiculous

It was a joke as in the tournament should only count if we win it

 

[Chris02M]

there has only been one tournament as far as i can remember

ever hear of the words contact tracing? They could have played with 5. So I’m guessing tracing got them.

 

[Ghost]

Wow. That's gotta be pretty devastating for those kids.

some people are still ignorant about the pandemic even though over 500k have died

Local officials decided they weren’t going to let them play even if they had five haha

then it’s useless for the ncaa to say you can play with 5.

 

[rocfan44]

Yeah I see your point. Unless the number of positive tests is an alarming amount that they feel it was a potential super spreader issue.

 

[rrlbees]

sounds like the locals made the decision overruling anything the ncaa would have decided.

And that would be fair to Oregon how? To put their players at risk where they couldn't play any longer in the tournament.

 

[rrlbees]

Yeah I see your point. Unless the number of positive tests is an alarming amount that they feel it was a potential super spreader issue.

yea, sounds like the local health department decided since they were negative for so long and all of a sudden had multiple positives, they weren’t going to wait to seen if it became a larger outbreak.

I just hope that this is a warning sign to everyone there to be safe and follow the protocols. No other team left will want this feeling that these kids have right now.

VCU played in the A-10 title game which was officiated by Roger Ayers (who has tested positive), but also stayed in a hotel in Dayton during the league tourney in which there were no shortage of people throughout the hotel without masks, per source.

Drink... Drink.. Drink!!

 

[orange79]

I'm going to guess "No".

 

[rrlbees]

Anyways, has to suck for the kids more than anyone but also the coaches and fans.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I feel for the VCU kids. Sucks to go out like that.

 

[Chris02M]

Justin McKoy of uva seems like the player who tested positive after our game last thursday as he is only player not playing for uva

 

[jncuse]

I think somebody had posted earlier this week that the odds that one game would be cancelled this tournament were -140 or +140. Whatever it was, -140 or +140, it was good value for a really crappy outcome that nobody wanted. To me this almost seemed inevitable.
