[Hans Sprungfeld]

How can they even select teams without auto bids?

Engineered by Emmert to keep UConn out.

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

Its a lot harder to do with college sports. They have a much smaller window. Its not like these tournaments can just be delayed a month or more.

I will apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, if the tournament took place would a team decline an invitation based on health concerns?

Why is the Big East playing?

Jim Dolan wants his money

ACC and Pac 12 just cancelled. Is the Big East really going to keep going?

 

[CL82]

So I'll just stick this in this thread.

This sucks. March madness is probably my favorite sports event of the year.
Blah, blah blah, bigger picture... blah blah.. pandemic...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I completely get it but I am still bummed, especially for Vital.

I doubt they will even start the later games. Feel like this first game started after around the same time the other games started. I perceive an inordinate amount of live action has been placed on the st. john's creighton game.

Everyone cancelled except for Big East.

huge bummer....but the right call

If this were a college football conference title game or playoff game I have a hard time believing the decision would be as easy.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Any chance of postponement??

 

[bigknight3]

I'm still drinking at 3pm. I'll watch all of @tcf15 's stuff.

Daily chat dedicated to rewatching each game this season. Do we see glimpses of what's to come or what still needs to be worked on...

It does. I didn't want to jinx it but I legit thought Vital was gonna lead us to win this thing. I hope AG is back for next season.

It can get much hysteric than not playing a basketball game.

How can they even select teams without auto bids?

The same way conferences have always been entitled to choose their automatic bids: awarding it to the regular season champion.

According to the Manual, 31.3.4.1(a), they can choose whether the auto qualifier comes from regular season competition or from a postseason tournament, and they can wait up until the deadline imposed by the NCAA for selection (ie Selection Sunday) to make that election.

The Big East is a clown show right now.

 

[Marbles90]

Why is the Big East playing?

Let's see if Samson Johnson/Creighton even comes out for the second half

do the research and then maybe you won't embarrass yourself like you just did.
