This is a meltdown thread gutter. Only meltdowns allowed. Reasonable opinions on other thread.

I'll only go half pdub, but I do think jfish is right in that removing the fans removes most of the reckless risks.

Gobert, though.

If only we had 2,000 extra tests, and players/staff/refs are required to take a test before entering any arena.

Tourney will be delayed, at best, but if not, the "First Four" should be axed.

I don't know how you can still have the NCAA tourney b/c what about automatic qualifiers for teams that win their tournament?

Yeah. I don’t think they’ll not play the tournament. It’s going to be delayed. Probably completely ok to play it in April or May. Kids will still be “in school.”

Hope the NBA draft/combine is delayed then.

I wonder how much leeway the NCAA has on the tourney. For example, the Olympics, by its bylaws, it must be played in the 2020 calendar year, otherwise it cannot happen. The bylaws should be able to be changed, but who the hell knows nowadays.

I think a truncated tourney will satisfy everyone. 32 team single site, two courts, only team and staff would satisfy all.

Day 1 & 2 16 teams, 8 games each day
Day 3 & 4 8 teams, 4 games each day
Day 5 & 6 4 teams, 2 games a day
Day 8 Semi (4 teams, 2 games)
Day 9 or 10 Finals

Fair enough!

FUCK!!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!! GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!

Like I'm sure everyone else - I'm sincerely very upset that the virus has had such a strong impact and the strong possibility that the NCAA Tournament may be canceled. It's one of the highlights of the year for me. It's depressing.

I would say if the NBA was continuing as normal, there wouldn't be a chance...but because it's delayed, then the draft will be delayed, so it's possible it is suspended.

It will have to be a different format though unless they intend on starting the conference tournaments back up.

Ghost of dotNET past.
