NCAA Tournament

[tomdalton22]

I was listening to ESPN U this am and some analyst said that as many as 12 big 10 teams might make the tournament but he didn't think any of them were good enough to win it. That's pretty amazing.

Wow, how about that?

Yeah deep league !

 

[tomdalton22]

The way things are going, my guess is a lot of these games will be played in empty arenas. Almost for sure by the time they get to the final 4.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yeah they just announced limited or no crowds allowed for both men and women. I am really torn. I want people to be safe but this all feels like a overreaction to me. I guess better safe then sorry later.

there weren't crowds for the women's tournament anyway.

Yeah, now that Imus is dead, nobody cares.

The Spike Lee joint that Imus references in the clip is School
Daze.

This is the scene he was talking about:

I meant to edit my post I quoted, not quote it. Oh well.

So here is a quote from the coach of the Baylor women's basketball team regarding COVID and if the games will continue.


"The answer is this: The season will continue on. It's called the almighty dollar," Mulkey said after the Lady Bears lost 75-71 to Iowa State in Waco, Texas, ending the longest current home-court winning streak in Division I women's basketball at 61 games. "The NCAA has to have the almighty dollar from the men's tournament. The almighty dollar is more important than the health and welfare of me, the players or anybody else."

OK, if you are so concerned, quit. Nobody is forcing her to continue to coach. And if it weren't for the Men's tournament she wouldn't even have a coaching job. There wouldn't be a women's basketball team to coach. STFU.

dook basketball team has a COVID case, their season is over. I wonder if it's even true or if krooziewooksi realized he had no shot at the tourney so he decided to have his streak end with an asterisk instead of an ass-kicking by Florida State.

I wonder how hard he's campaigning for the whole tournament to be cancelled.

It's neat to see the nuanced evolution of our opinions as new information becomes available.

I'm sure the posters in that thread that insisted it was all much ado about nothing, anyone concerned about it was a "CUCK" or a "SHEEP," and posted all sorts of garbage links have since admitted they're wrong, and engaged in some serious soul-searching now that we're closing in on 600,000 dead Americans a year later.

Exactly. Everybody's 1st comment is pretty much identical to their last comment.

except the people saying "hey, this is scary, let's take precautions until
we know more" were smart & prudent.

and the people saying "this is nothing. Why can't I go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch hockey? A lack of data means we know it's not dangerous. if it was dangerous, we'd already be sick and dying" were dumb and reckless, and are still dumb and reckless today.
