Coronavirus sports impact

[superjohn]

So Rudy Gobert did this and now he's sick and they have delayed the Jazz Thunder game. No fans at ACC, Big 12, Big 10, AAC games starting tomorrow, no fans at NCAA tournament. Warriors will play with no fans going forward and NBA is about to go without fans. This is going to be an incredibly strange tournament if it's actually played

Things are changing rapidly, so who the heck knows, but I highly doubt the AAC tournament goes past round 1. And I don't think Selection Sunday even happens this year.

UCONN would’ve won it all this year!!!!!! We were peaking!!!!!

 

[McLovin]

Not sure it makes any sense to play the conference tournaments at all now. Since it looks very doubtful now that the NCAA gets played, let’s end competitions sooner than later.

They should just hold all the tourney's without fans, there is no reason to cancel everything.

If one player gets sick , there canceling everything.

oh I am sure they will. The players are more likely to get sick at school in the dorms then on the road.

And someone will test positive in the next 12 hours. There are tens of thousands of people on division 1 teams, between players and staff.

Let’s be real, NBA cancelled games cuz playing without fans means zero ticket revenue. Suspending the season and starting back up in a couple months means they still recoup some loses.

Well a lot of the schools are sending kids home from the dorms.

Get 20th win, close out the season with a victory, finish classes online?

So Hoiberg had regular influenza (the flu, not the common cold as incorrectly stated here). That's a bit of a relief, as it was incredibly irresponsible to let him continue to coach. Good to keep in mind that everyone saying how COVID-19 is just like the flu have to remember that not only is it worse, but it's IN ADDITION. Regular flu hasn't gone anywhere. The hospitalizations that will threaten our system are additive.

Still don't think it looks good for the tournament, but we'll see.

If Gobert, or any NBA player for that matter, has the Coronavirus, then there is no way that nobody in the NCAAT has it. And even if they dont, there is definately no way they havent came into contact with someone that does (which you have to self quarantine for 14 days.) I cant see the tourney happening, unfortunately.

Nice gesture by Kevin Love here.

 

[Deepster]

That’s awesome. Let’s hope many others are paying attention.

 

[auror]

Hopefully he didn't take that picture today.

Haha, I thought the same thing but it was from some time ago.
