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

[A Clockwork Orange]

That's fair.

Yep. Every team left is in the field anyways. No need to play with fire.

 

[JeremyCuse]

unless they are using a new fornat, don’t the first four play on Tues/Wed and then the traditional first rd games are Thurs/Fri?

New format this year.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

With the trackers they all wore, this won’t necessarily knock us completely out even if we had contact with whoever it was. Another question: if the trackers say Buddy was in close contact with the person would he have to sit given he’s already had covid?

Good question.

 

[Alsacs]

The question is would the committee move us to Saturday and move someone else to Thursday just cause of this

If we are in the field without the first four of course they would accommodate us for Saturday since they have all the teams in Indianapolis and the schedules aren’t made yet.

 

[TODDNTEXAS]

What ought to happen is that Lousiville should have advanced to play FSU and Cuse advance to play Gtech. Strange times right now with covid so why not? I mean, what are we going to do in the NCAA tournament if this happens in the final four... crown a champion because the other team has a covid case?

Exactly! It's trash mismanagement by the ACC and NCAA. They've had an entire YEAR to figure out how to handle this and now they aren't really handling it any differently than last year. Ridiculous.

NCAA requires 7 days of negative tests before getting to Indy... which means UVA needs all negatives tomorrow in order to play in the first round

There is a new format this year.
First four are on Thursday first round starts Friday and Saturday
Second round starts Sunday and Monday.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Wonder how many of our players have already had it...

 

[RF2044]

Those *****s. They couldn't have had this positive test one day earlier?

 

[GoSU96]

Here’s the solution, give every participant an antibody test, for those who haven’t already had the virus or the vaccine, give them the vaccine.

We could find out with a brand new lineup in play for the tourney.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Go to NIT in Texas. It’s the Spreader State Tournament. Only have to have one player and JB prohibited from wearing his Demi windshield shield.

 

[upperdeck]

I wonder if the ncaa considers pushing the tourney back a week to allow for quarantine time.

I’m sure TV contracts are king here, but there will start to be questions about legitimacy if this keeps going like this.

been saying this for awhile.. they should have given 2 weeks off to get teams bubbled up and then started the tourney

 

[FrancoPizza]

Those *****s. They couldn't have had this positive test one day earlier?

Makes you wonder... but they had nothing to gain by playing syracuse.

 

[Frozen]

New format this year.

Thanks. I did not know that.

 

[Briancuse]

Those *****s. They couldn't have had this positive test one day earlier?

I was thinking the same but didn't want to be the first to say it.

 

[rocfan44]

NCAA requires 7 days of negative tests before getting to Indy... which means UVA needs all negatives tomorrow in order to play in the first round

Or do they just need 5 negatives so they can field a team?

 

[Cusesky8214]

Buddy/JG3/Woody/Frank and a walk on or two have all had it that we actually know of right?

 

[CuseBBall]

Every team that knows they are in the tourney in every conference should stop playing immediately.

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

Or do they just need 5 negatives so they can field a team?

That protocol (5 player rule) is for when the tournament is already underway.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Buddy/JG3/Woody/Frank and a walk on or two have all had it that we actually know of right?

Feels like the rumor was that Chaz as well. But I may be misremembering.

 

[City of Cuse]

UVA trying to find a way to keep their title one more year. They are probably trying to infect the Zags and Baylor right now.

 

[CuseBBall]

CBS does not want the final 4 the same weekend as the Masters

Takes two weeks though to be effective.
