College Basketball Season Might be Paused...or Cancelled

[KCKUKFan]

If they're serious about shutting teams down for two weeks if one person in the vicinity of the team (trainers, doctors, etc) is positive, there is zero chance of a coherent basketball season.

That's for sure. Not likely to find many teams where one person isn't at least exposed.

If the season is cancelled, at least we won't have to look at the hideous Rupp floor.

I'm trying to stay positive.

If the season’s canceled “Olivier Sarr” is going to be a killer answer to a UK-themed trivia question in 2056.

It looks like we are headed for another imminent shutdown, so I'd be surprised if there were any fans at all.

This week is slated to be the start of the college basketball season.

So far it's not off to a great start. Multiple programs have had positive tests and are shutting down for the short-term. This includes Tennessee, who just announced that Rick Barnes is positive.

The powers-that-be in the sport have to be seriously concerned. I'm not sure how many programs are shut down but the number has grown significantly just today.

As some have stated, this season is going to be a slow interesting process if we even have one.

It sounds like some of these teams are showing up at Mohegan Sun for that Bubbleville thing and then getting positive tests and told to turn around and go home.

Stephen F. Austin was supposed to tip the season off tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. One guy (one) in their party tested positive and now they're booted.

Heard about another team that showed up and had multiple positive tests, which seems to indicate they weren't doing enough (or any) tests back home.

Bummer about SFA. One of my sentimental favorite teams. Things aren’t looking great, all the way around.

Because it's 2020 we're going to get situations like this:

"Not affiliated with either program." LOL.
