AAC Tournament Cancelled

[Waquoit]

Everyone with 19 wins or more goes?

This season is toast but what about a 1-time, 128 team tournament to open next year?

 

[BugsyCT]

Already 2 NBA players have been diagnosed with the virus and the league got suspended. Wouldn't take much at all now to cancel the big dance.

NCAA tournament will likely be cancelled. I don’t know what the Big East is thinking. I am glad we are about to be in their conference but right now acting more important than everyone else

The ACC is about to play as we speak

Very likely the last day they play so

 

[Waquoit]

Let's be real. The panic train is rolling. No way the NCAA is getting played.

One man's panic train is another man's prudence. Sticking our head in the sand didn't work, let's try something else.

I’ve gone back and forth with this in my head but it’s the right call. We have no idea how bad this may get and sadly basketball games can’t be a priority. Scary times.

 

[MDeL04]

does that mean tulsa gets a bid?

Tulsa didn’t win the conference

Big East is playing too.

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.

[LIuconn]

At least we have a CDC right? Right??

 

[Peacefrog]

Who is the second player?

Donovan Mitchell, Goubert's teamate.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

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

Who is the second player?

Sources: Mitchell is second Jazz player with virus

Donovan Mitchell is the second Jazz player to test positive for the coronavirus, sources told ESPN. He joins Rudy Gobert, whose diagnosis led to the postponement of Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

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.

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
