As long as others don't test positive, they can be exposed within 7 days and go as long as they continue testing negative. So you might be down a player or two, but the rest of the team can go.
Need 6 or 7 straight negative tests to play? Scares me.
Umm because conference tournaments matter.Days. Not tests, days.
Big XII games tonight are awesome, but why the hell would those 4 absolute locks bother risking their NCAAT?
Down yes, but we are at a plateau equal to mid summer for deaths and cases. Still not even close to where we need to be.Weird seeing positives now with cases down so much around the country.
Ah - noTeams should’ve been vaccinated already.
Umm because conference tournaments matter.
The NCAA tournament starting four or five days after the major conference tournaments and you needing 7 days does make it kind of awkward. The conference powers that be definitely should have changed the normal schedule and had a little bit more time in between.
Since every team is in the same location they could probably squeeze a round 1 game in on Sunday morning with the winner playing Monday night OR even pushing it out to Tuesday or Wednesday.
I hope the NCAA Tournament is able to accommodate these types of scheduling adjustments given all 68 + 4 teams are in the same state.
Ah - no
I'm getting a bad feeling about the tournament. Probably just flashbacks to how quickly things fell apart this time last year... but this sucks
You have to ask? They aren't a priority.Why not.
I agree there will be a tournament this year. Its just surprising to see this since it seemed things had been going pretty smoothly since the winter surge.We gotta stay strong we have gotten this far not stopping now, not cancelling the NCAA tournament again. Stretch the tournament out if you have to.
To the TV networks/parters.To who?

A close to foolproof plan would be to put an extra week between each weekend and have teams quarantine leading in. Hoping it doesn't come to that but if that's the worst case I'm on board.

To the teams playing. Geezus, this board is stupid these days.To who?
The NCAA tournament starting five or six days after the major conference tournaments and you needing 7 days does make it kind of awkward. The conference powers that be definitely should have changed the normal schedule and had a little bit more time in between.
We knew nothing about the virus back then, we now know the virus isn't much of a concern to young healthy people.I'm getting a bad feeling about the tournament. Probably just flashbacks to how quickly things fell apart this time last year... but this sucks
Could they? yesSo theoretically, say 10 tourney locks have cases this weekend... Could they delay the tourney by a week to allow all of the teams to sequester, find out who actually is carrying it, and see if they can play without those guys?
