Covid just knocked UVA out of the ACC tournament.

For a second, I misread it that it was positive ..... few.

fingers crossed the rest of the way.

So frustrating. What you going to do other than take the upmost precautions and everyone abide by them

Well, you could try taking the utmost precautions instead 😉

From here on out, it'll be The Daily Exhale.

Lock these guys in a room with no outside contact from now until the end of the season.

Teams are dropping like flies.

Duke, Virginia and Kansas all had positive tests.

I thought I read for the NCAA tournament teams only have to have 5 players who clear Covid protocols. Why couldn’t the conferences follow the same guidelines for their tournaments?

The past 365 plus days have been so much anxiety, I feel like everyone in the world has aged 5 years in the last 1 year.

The problem is, it isn’t just the players / staff . It’s anyone we play against or involved in the game who can put us in jeopardy due to contract tracing. We missed 2 or 3 games earlier this year because a ref tested positive, despite no positives on our team.

I will point out however, that Butler played in the game with the refs too and didn’t miss a game.

Given CTs strict rules, unfortunately a lot of the “risk” mitigation is out of the teams direct control.

If they stick strictly to the standard of being within 6 feet of someone for 15 minutes, even an infected starter on one team might only sideline 1 or 2 players from their opponent via contact tracing. It might be a huge mess, but I expect most teams will be able to field 5 players throughout the tournament.

You’re making a massive assumption here that the state of CT would use common sense in this scenario (their past actions says that’s highly unlikely).

edit: but yes, every other team in the tournament shouldn’t have an issue fielding a team under this scenario

Does anyone know for sure who is the watch dog for the testing of each team? Does each school monitor themselves? Might there be a neutral group set up to monitor what exactly is happening, or just simply the ”honest system” and each school is in control of their own personal? As we get closer to sweet 16/ elite 8/ FF...I would want to know exactly who is doing the testing...just my thoughts.

I don't think Connecticut would have anything to say about it. UConn can do whatever they want in Indiana, can't they? Worst case, they might have to quarantine upon return.

Or does the DPH have some authority over UConn sports when out-of-state that I don't know about? I admit to having almost no knowledge on the subject. Just going by what I've gleaned from reading here and there.

So what you’re saying is that not only is Tyler Olander better than Syracuse at basketball, but COVID is as well?

Yeah. Bubbles do work. No one in or no one out unfortunately is the way to go.
