Kansas, Duke and UVA all out of conference tourneys for COVID

giphy.gif
 
Just a moronic decision by the NCAA to have the tournament start with no delay. On brand at least.

The conference tournaments are stupid this year. Felt this way a month ago. Taking a massive chance of Covid spreading with these tournament. Instead of the conference tournaments the NCAA should have had teams arrive in Indy for the bubble and have everyone test and get quarantined. But the NCAA are run by morons so par for the course.
 
Yep. Should have skipped the conference tourneys and had a 10 day bubble for the NCAA tourney.

Mother****ers.

Playing conference tournaments (during covid) is dumber than testing asymptotic 20 year old athletes
 
Didn't KU already have a couple guys home from COVID stuff? Just brutal.
 
If Kansas and Virginia both are out of the NCAAT that is two teams Roy has a hard time beating. Too bad we suck this year so it doesn't matter.

Kansas knew what was coming and made a executive decision.
 
A rumor going around that Culver WVU might have it. He was having a lot of trouble breathing and could barely run yesterday. Still waiting on updated tests from today. He already had it couple months ago so I doubt it's true.

Wouldn't be nearly the gut punch of last year, but a gut punch nonetheless.

Then imagine if KU gets hammered by the NCAA and sits out a third year in a row.
 
Wondering if Duke could rub out the walk-on who has it and get back in the mix since there will be more available spots now

Hopefully you guys are good to go. It isn't so bad to get out of the tourney early. Just a few years ago Texas Tech got bounced by WVU in first round of the big 12 tournament and went on to get to the championship game. I'm trying to give myself hope for our early loss yesterday. Laughing
 
If they're out of conference tournaments then they're out of the NCAA tournament. Quarantine protocols etc.

They have until next saturday as I'm sure the committee will give them that extra day. 9 days and a minimum 5 players they are allowing assuming they test negative, should be good to let them in?

I mean I don't see how, I'm not an expert but 9 days is the shortest quarantine I've ever heard of.

I believe the rule is, "The NCAA protocols for playing in the tournament require seven consecutive days of negative test results among all Tier 1 personnel before arriving in Indianapolis."

Probably not.

Should be a tough out but there isn't enough there.
Played over your head this entire season.

I guess we will see which coaches actually care about player health really soon. Glad my coach does...

I wouldn't say we played over our head. A lot of close losses against highly ranked teams, including Gonzaga where we were up most of the game. Only had one loss of 6 points or more which was at Kansas.

WVU really wanted that game yesterday.
Played their asses off.

But they don't have the talent of Oklahoma St. To me a team like Oklahoma State is more dangerous because there is still room to turn up the intensity.

Not so much with WVU

If you watch the winning play it speaks volumes.
They isolated McNeil.

Pretty much attack the white boy. McNeil doesn't have the lateral movement to stay in front

Huggins said Culver could barely walk, much less run and his backup was in foul trouble all game. I wouldn't take much from yesterday's loss. Culver didn't get over to the rim in time to help defend that drive.

You have to be invited to this party. I'd hate for you guys to go to the trouble only to be denied entry.
 
Just the truth.
This hasn't changed.

Texas should know better than anyone. Huggins gives us his best punch

I tell the truth too. Just like WVU, Texas wont be making any noise in the tournament. Sweet 16 is likely both of our teams ceiling. It will be nice to play someone different other than brutal big 12 teams though.

IF you can't see the difference between the two don't know what to tell you.

Talent wins at a certain point when intensity is equal.

But if you can win with talent when the other team is playing much harder than you that also speaks volumes.

Rewatch Baylor vs Illinois at the beginning of the season.

This is why Baylor is probably the #1 team.

That doesn't even make sense. Are you trying to say Texas has the talent to win it all? They wont get close. Hate to break it to you.
