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

[CuseBBall]

So there is going to be a field of 68 and 4 reserves.

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

why does it matter if games played in the evening are on the same day as the master to anyone?

 

[cusetown1]

There is going to be a handful of teams minimum not being able to play in the tournament IMO.

 

[upperdeck]

if we stay clean and Virg doesnt the bubble moves up 1

 

[Alsacs]

If we have any positive tests today we are done.

 

[HoustonCuse]

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

They still want revenge from 2016. What better way than this?

 

[upperdeck]

If we have any positive tests today we are done.

not sure how any of our kids could test positive today from somehting last night. that be non normal.

 

[shandeezy7]

How do these positive tests always come up after the game is played? Like I'm assuming every team gets a rapid test the morning of the game and then another after. The morning test doesn't pick this up somehow???

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Instead of sweating out Selection Sunday, we now have to sweat out Swab Saturday.

 

[rocfan44]

If we have any positive tests today we are done.

Won't it take a few days after exposure for us to really tell?

 

[cusetown1]

I don’t see anyway uva is able to play in the tourney . Just don’t think it’s possible.

 

[Alsacs]

Won't it take a few days after exposure for us to really tell?

Yeah we can get positives up to 5 days after now.

Our team has to be shutdown from practicing to limit exposure.

Hindsight 20:20...should have cancelled all conf tourneys...used regular season standings to determine bids and conf champs...and used that time to begin isolating all teams

Oh well

 

[PauliePeppas]

We will be good...positive vibes

 

[richmondcuse03]

our best hope is that it's a bench warmer or coach. worse case, we can still probably field a team of five based just on guys who already had it...

 

[Halfmooncuse]

And the winner of the NCAAT is the Immaculate conception Boys Tabernacle Choir.

Oh well

boeheim essentially predicted this too -- if you're a top team, why play...

 

[CorduroyG]

bad stuff happens to us right before the tournament. ao, fab, frank howard. i fully expect this to end our season.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Instead of sweating out Selection Sunday, we now have to sweat out Swab Saturday.

If u dribble your team is out

 

[Newhouser]

I might be in the minority here, but I don’t see how the NCAA tournament is going to work if they can’t even escape the conference tournaments unscathed by Covid.

IMO we shouldn’t even have March Madness this year. Professionals are paid millions, Covid risk is now an occupational hazard for them. These kids aren’t paid. They shouldn’t have to shoulder the risk.

This has to be stemming from an arena and or leagues ops person. The teams are way too careful and used to the process. I hope Indy is doing a deep dive.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Not great

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Ok, so people are saying 7 days of negative tests are required, but you can play with just 5 if you have to?

Does this mean the entire team has to be clean for 7 days, but then after that if any players test positive they're just ineligible so long as you have 5 guys testing negative?

 

[cusetown1]

If they start cancelling conference tourneys and then play the NCAA tournament the following week , it’s a bad look for college basketball . Pretty much admitting they are spreading the disease by playing these tournaments.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Welppppp

 

[Alsacs]

Not great

OFS

We are done.
