Villanova and St. John's games postponed...

We played Butler last night

You sure? I’d suggest we all wait to see whom CNN and MSNBC says we played. Truth.

Yes, been confirmed for a while. It expands slightly outside of Indy to Bloomington and West Layfette I believe. More or less same schedule

2024 March Madness: Men's NCAA tournament schedule, dates

Here is the schedule for March Madness 2024, which begins with Selection Sunday on March 17.

Thanks. As I said, this probably destroys any remaining claims that these kids are amateurs. I kinda expect lawsuits of some kind. Not a lawyer and I'm not sure what the argument would be. At the end of the day, there is a lot of money involved. And parties with a legit argument they don't get their proper cut. Lawyers will come.

So we do everything right and the Big East officials cause a pause. This league has to get its act together.

I was told we have the best commissioner in college athletics and the league is incredibly well run. We will get every single game in. i think there are some double headers scheduled in February.

I really think it’s more about his circle than him. But, when I look at 3 Mock Drafts - he’s 15, 10 and 9. So who’s to say they’re wrong even though Chief told one of them they were wrong. LOL Basically, talent and 6 games from last season and 3-4 good games from this season - gets him to be a lottery pick. Not much of a body of work. He likes the college scene (even with Covid) and his mom is a very nice lady - but they are not the ones in my view making the chess moves. Chief’s point is he could move up a few slots if he had a good year next season with maybe normalcy returning. I don’t think his advisers feel it’s worth the risk /reward.

I think his advisors are "selling" the 40 pt game vs Creighton to the NBA as his potential.

Keep everyone healthy. And move on. TBH .Surprised this hasn't happened somewhere else in College BB this season with the refs as carriers.

Don't know if March Madness dates are absolutely firm or if there's flexibility built into them. Would hope that the NCAA has a Plan B.

Doubt it

 

[Umami Zen]

Doubt it

Stay tuned

I hope his "advisors" are his parents

Jay Wright is the epitome of a class act. I have so much respect for him and what he’s accomplished at Villanova. Even when we took them down in 2014, I remember him speaking highly about Shabazz’s performance. As a 2-seed, that loss must’ve been a tough pill for him to swallow. Instead of complaining, he gave UConn the credit they deserved.

In my opinion, Jay Wright is the gold standard for college basketball coaches in 2021. I’m so ready for egotistical coaches like Izzo, Coach K, and Calipari to retire.

Are officials tested on an ongoing basis and before games to ensure this doesn't occur?
Seems crazy that these kids suffer - Im sure they will test the players daily the next three to five days? If no issues, why not start playing again? Just wondering

 

[ucawn]

People who think James B won’t play another game for UConn are morons lol.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Allow refs who test positive on the antibody test to ref the NCAA tourney games.

This thread is just speculation fueled by more useless speculation by a fake insider. Peak BY

CNN and MSNBC.?

CNN and MSNBC.

Stuff like this is like a moron detector.

Meanwhile, ISU and TX have multiple players and coaches test positive and become late scratches, yet their teams still play hours later

Bizarre

Or Butler who played on the same court and will be playing Friday.

They’re doing the right thing. 20 year olds have a better chance of dying in a car accident tomorrow than dying from covid.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

No point pretending you might play Sunday. It takes five days from your exposure to the virus before a test can become accurate. You do the math.

I really find the childishness of many of these posts bizarre. The school and the state and the conference are trying to protect the long term health of their student athletes. Our desire to watch basketball on television should not and does not materially factor in to their analysis.

 

[Bongo Fury]

I got tested yesterday and received my negative result today. Is it really that difficult?

 

[Chief00]

I hope his "advisors" are his parents

Hope is a wonderful thing.

They’re saying we can not test our way out because the virus may show up a week later. It’s idiotic but I will take it if it allows us to get healthy.
