Coronavirus lookin' good to get the overall #1 seed in the tournament. I'm not sure anyone can stop their march to the championship this year.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Every tournament will be cancelled by the end of the day I expect. I wonder if NCAA cancels, or just tries to push ahead. I guess it's still a week away for the first games, if they got rid of the first four games.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

NCAAs aren't gonna happen if a majority of the conference tournaments this week get cancelled.

i'm annoyed at the basketball cancellations but i'm furious at the inevitable cancellation of the NCAA wrestling tournament because Iowa was gonna win their first title in 10 years and now i can't watch Spencer Lee dismantle a bunch of fools on his way to the Hodge award.

I can see them postponing it and not outright cancelling for the time being.

This is what happens when you have a government that completely bungles both the action and the messaging surrounding a pandemic.

The government could be doing everything right and these things would still need to be postponed or cancelled

Selfishly, I hope they postpone it and still play it later instead of outright cancelling, but I get how difficult that is logistically. I guess 2020 will join 2013 as years without a champion.

I'm really curious to see how long these mass-gathering cancellations last.

Yeah I assume those are all done. That's an easy workaround though because you can just put regular season champs in as the auto bids, if it happens.

If we had easier, cheaper, and more prevalent testing, we'd be able to more confidently hold these events. Everyone gets tested the day before each round and any team whose tests come back positive forfeit the game. Stuff like that.

But tests in the US are expensive and aren't done proactively.

A national policy other than, "It's all OK, it's just a bad flu" would also help matters.

East Tennessee State

One of those teams gets the National Championship. It's only fair.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Regular season is actually a way better measure of the best in a conference so congrats Florida State https://twitter.com/accmbb/status/1238147289643974657?s=21
