The Coronavirus and College Basketball's Postseason

[Dwight Schrute]

So the likely overall #1 seed and a blueblood of the sport have said they won't play.

Yeah, this tournament ain't happening next week.

[Dwight Schrute]

They're not going to be able to push it back too much.

These kids have career decisions to make. They're not going to be playing into the summer.

Yup. I'd say they won't even be playing into April.

I think if the NCAA says they are postponing it and will try to play it in April/May it could still go on. Everything related to the NBA is going to be pushed back and the players are still in school until early May so that (to me) seems to be the deadline.

@SethDavisHoops
Like all of you I expect the NCAA tournament to be canceled at any time. In the meantime, I’m told that the selection committee continues to do its work in New York as if the tourney will happen.

The Selection Show apparently will go on as scheduled on Sunday, which is going to be really weird.

Do the teams continue practicing without playing any games until then?

Talk about unpredictable.

Does Duke get placed in the bracket? I guess not.

Ohio governor bans any meeting with over 100 people. Consider that for a moment.

Does that include schools, churches, etc...?

It would appear so.

Southeast Christian in Louisville (biggest church in Kentucky) has cancelled all services until further notice.

Supreme Court closing until further notice.

Some clarification from KU -

@dennisdoddcbs
Just got a call from a Kansas official. Their statement has been misinterpreted. Kansas has NOT pulled out of NCAA Tournament. Key word: Cancelled travel, events "indefinitely."

There are many exceptions

[ralph helm]

In regards to the US naval ships in San Diego harbor--I would imagine the US military has a lot of neat & deadly stuff most of us will never know about unless something bad enough happens for it to be deployed---hope things never come to that---more deaths might occur than have happened in all previous wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KCKUKFan]
