This is heartbreaking. Why can't they just delay it?

oh stop with the lecturing. Everyone understands it’s bigger than basketball. You can still feel bad for these kids who gave it their all.

who is lecturing? if you want a lecture, i am happy to give one.

 

[BugsyCT]

Big 12 tourney just bit the dust too

We're good. Thanks though.

 

[87Xfer]

Creighton and SJ are playing now.

 

[polycom]

The ACC is about to play as we speak

it’s going to look super stupid when someone tests positive.

 

[BlueDogs]

Beyond ridiculous. Bubble wrap society.

 

[freescooter]

How can they even select teams without auto bids?

Not so hard. Autobid to League regular season champs. At large like always based on reputation.

Delay it until when? This wlll only get worse before it gets better.

No argument out of me. Though it looks as if they just called it. I wonder what the big East is trying to prove

 

[maineuconnfan]

Where all the players already there?

 

[AdamaNation]

Welp, on to the Big East.


I’m so sorry, Christian. I’m glad this team was able to stay in the fight and make the games they did play meaningful and fun. Despite everything, they gave us some great memories this season.

It’s almost a picture of his time here and what he and the program has endured.

 

[the Q]

Tulsa didn’t win the conference

they were awarded a Share conference title. Different than seeding.

 

[Shine33]

Beyond ridiculous. Bubble wrap society.

It’s a game you Nancy. You’re the weak one here

 

[djct1999]

We're good. Thanks though.

I figured that.

 

[BlueDogs]

Actually it’s the opposite, it’s smart.

Yeah, we don’t want health my kids with zero risk of serious health consequences getting the sniffles.

 

[superjohn]

The ACC is about to play as we speak

You're wrong about everything.

 

[weyuo]

I don't understand why the NCAA doesn't just postpone everything for a month and see if this thing recedes to the point where it would be relatively safe to hold conference and national tournaments. If, in a month things are unchanged or worse then cancel. Venues can be changed if there are scheduling conflicts that can't be worked out. But at least that way student athletes still have a chance to audition for prospective pro employers, records and stats can still be achieved, vendors will still have a chance to make a paycheck(along with the transportation and hospitality industries). Just postpone it for a month and see what happens.

 

[KingAG]

You're wrong about everything.

You’re trying too hard. The ACC by all accounts was about to play. Looking for arguments is weak

 

[JB75]

This is heartbreaking. Why can't they just delay it?

Don’t understand why they won’t leave the door open a crack and delay it then if things don’t work out in a few weeks just cancel it

 

[AdamaNation]

My solution would be to delay the tournament for 2 weeks quarantining the teams and officials during that time and for the duration of the tournament. Then play without a crowd in a small forum. Low risk and to all and still reward kids for their play this season.

How about a tour of small venues like high school gyms and out door parks??

 

[aburks41]

The ACC just gave FSU the conference championship trophy on ESPN lmfao

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Delay it until when? This wlll only get worse before it gets better.

until it... gets better.

 

[g_smith]

Where all the players already there?

I think they were. Unless they canceled it last night but didn’t make a public announcement until now. Because if we were playing at 3 and another game started before us at 1, at least 4 teams were there.

 

[Dooooooomed]

LOL at the ACC/Swofford making the cancellation announcement while everyone is on the court huddled together and touching.... SMH.
