Two people tested positive. Frack. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Woof. This season has no shot if every program sits on the sidelines with no team activities for 14 days after every singular positive test.
-
Who is closing down for 14 days?

The whole program.

Inevitable. With the current rate of infection, be glad if any games get played.

1 positive test each men's and women's basketball

This is why the NCAA is giving everyone another year.

Can they still do defensive drills? Wojo teams usually maintain good social distance there.

Hah nice
But seriously hope everyone ends up ok. Wish athletic masks could be developed (have they?)

Outstanding.
I wouldn't want the floor to get COVID germs from all the slapping, though.

it amazes me that college football teams have played so many games. Also will shutdown a program for 14 days in hoops. Would think it would be 3-5 days of no more positive tests and they start up again, but the caution is good
-
Football teams are practicing in small groups. So positives don’t knock out a whole team. Tough for basketball.

True but you would think the small groups would be by position and one positive to a position group would take a team down.

just forgot the season if this is the case for big east teams. miss out on all that practice. why not a 3 day pause then the negative test players can resume? jeez idk man. i need college hooops

Because the disease can take up to 14 days to show symptoms so all close contacts must quarantine.

show syptoms? so wat cant a test 3 days from now tell if they have it or not?

They have to put the kids who test positive through a Heart examination prior to clearing before they play. Myocarditis is a big issue with the Athletic Trainor's. My understanding is that there is a period of time before they do those heart tests.

I don't think this comes from the Big East, I think it comes from the NCAA. Not sure if its a rule or a guideline but with "Tier 1" personnel (players and coaches) you are supposed to quarantine for 14 days.

My expectation all along was that there would be no season. Anything we get is just a bonus.

As conferences are learning the costs of doing bubbles/pods doubts are creeping in.

Not necessarily, though I do think with routine testing, a full 14 days probably isn't warranted.
For an example, I work at a testing site where a husband and wife came in symptomatic on a Friday but both tested negative on both rapid and deep swab tests. Their symptoms did not improve and they returned the following Tuesday. That time, the wife tested positive on the rapid and the husband tested negative. I did not hear the results of his deep swab, but we advised he get retested in a few days because if his wife had it, it was almost certain he had it as well.
Most likely both of them had it the entire time but not enough had manifested to produce a positive result. In that case, the husband was likely symptomatic for at least 5 days before there was enough virus in his system to produce a positive test result. I can't say what the exact timetable should be, but I think a week of routine negative tests is probably a fair estimation.

+1
Sports have been playing on borrowed time for quite a while. And now case rates are rising to what looks like the highest peak yet.
I sure hope we get that bonus though. I really could use some college hoops....

I think we'll have a NCAA Tournament even if it means randomly drawing names out of a hat and having the players take the court fully encapsulated like Bubble Boy from Seinfeld.

I gues you’ve not hear of CDC guidelines. Fluffy has. See his response.
-

Correct. The CDC recommends testing after three or four days OR if you show symptoms. If you are positive, you then have to wait ten days from that point and be fever free for 24 hours without taking medicine. But even if you test negative after 3 or 4 days, the disease STILL may not manifest itself until 14 days from your last close contact.

We probably will not be told. However, this does not mean a basketball player had a positive test. It could of been a supporting staff member. They tested 45 people connected with the two programs, which is much greater than the actual players.

Our football program has not lost a game in over 60 years. Our basketball program will beat COVID too.

Unbelievable, we’ve had to deal with a cancer for 4 years AND NOW THIS

So we have co-morbidities then?

Well played!

Proud to have made Scoop Takes.
In all seriousness, I hope it’s a quick recovery and no spread. Unlike football where only one game a week is played, I can’t imagine the logistics nightmare of when this happens during the season.

Is it just basketball players? If so, can Koby keep practicing?
-
I guess the NCAA tournament may just run past July with all the pausing.
