Perhaps the ACC should cancel the rest of the tournament. All remaining teams are in and its probably best to keep them away from one another.

Honestly, they should. Imagine if its been spread around that whole tourney and there is no ACC representation in the big dance.

With six ACC vacated slots, MU still has a chance, right?

Wojo ready to prove the haters wrong with an NCAA bid this year.

Glad I grabbed GT at 25-1 odds to win the ACC tournament two weeks ago.

I know I've said I'm apathetic about Sam leaving but nothing would make me happier in this season than him thinking he dodged a bullet by transferring and still not having an NCAA tournament to play in his senior season

Two teams out of the ACC tourney due to covid. Are they doing something wrong, does the ACC have different policy than the BE, or just more contact (tracing). i.e. - Moore from SJU was held out due to a positive covid test, but the team could still play.

It'd be a shame if Sam doesn't get his tourney this year, but that's also part of the "suck it up, buttercup" that we've all had to do.

What's going on in the Maryland/Michigan game, I just flipped it on to see coaches ready to fight?

I found this, bus still unclear what led to it:

It would be an unmitigated disaster if games are canceled during the NCAA tournament. To think that there won't be any positive tests is naive. The question is will they amend protocols? Because if they do not they could kiss this very anticipated tournament goodbye. Not to mention a crapload of cash.

We will never get to a point where you can assure 100% safety. If that's the goal there should never be a sporting event played, ever. COVID will be thwarted with vaccines, just like the flu, but it will never be eradicated.

Teams aren't going to play if they have positive tests. Maybe MU gets in after all.

How many positive tests will there need to be in the NIT for MU to get the invite?

tower912 · « **Reply #939 on:** March 12, 2021, 12:25:02 PM »

A lot. But how many programs are going to decide to stay home rather than play in the NIT. I could/should have tealed my comment about MU. But, for the sake of argument, say 30+ programs have to/choose to not participate. If it gets all of the way to MU, what would you want the team to do?

Considering how hard this season was on the team according to Wojo, I would expect them to decline the invite.

tower912 · « **Reply #941 on:** March 12, 2021, 12:28:23 PM »

It was mentioned in the Xavier thread that it would be tricky to reassemble the team and get them ready to play at this point. Probably true.

Because of the liability? Then why was there a season at all? And how many people have died or been hospitalized from COvID spread in athletic competitions across the world? What's that number and how does it compare to say spread and hospitalizations from airplanes or grocery stores? If elderly coaches haven't been vaccinated or are worried can they Zoom coach?

NCAA rules require seven days of negative COVID tests before they come to Indianapolis and daily testing once they are there.

So, Muggsy, it will only take a few.

Technically then the UVA spot is open?
