OT: NCAA Basketball 2019-20

Schools are postponing or dropping Spring football practices and games - could the upcoming season be next?

I don't think it will go on that long. Didn't they say that in China the Wuhan area is now recovering?

The jump to canceling the tournament, although it seems that the B1G has done just that. The scariest thing, Influenza A can be deadly in the young and elderly and we are glad he has it instead? That just shows how much the fear has come to and I hope when Tom Hanks recovers in 1-2 weeks that some of the hysteria goes away.

I also saw reports that the NCAA is looking to use a smaller venue for the Final Four. I wonder if the Hawk's arena has opened up for use or maybe one of the colleges in the area. Also if San Diego State gets the #1 seed in the East and Duke as the #2 it won't be as much of a factor in going to Madison Square Garden, AKA Cameron North.

Not CBB related, but the NHL is expected to suspend operations.

Add the Big 12 and the WAC.

Add the SEC to that list.

The jump to canceling the tournament, although it seems that the B1G has done just that. The scariest thing, Influenza A in most age brackets has has similar death rate and we are glad he has it instead? That just shows how much the fear has come to and I hope when Tom Hanks recovers in 1-2 weeks that some of the hysteria goes away.

Who exactly said they were "glad" Coach Hoiberg has Influenza A?

As far as my comment regarding the tournament, it came off as more dramatic than I intended it too - but it's not an illogical statement regarding what the NCAA would do if a player or coach did come down with the virus. Do I want them to shut down the tournament? Absolutely not. Do I think it's irrational? Absolutely. Do I think they would shut the thing down, or at least postpone it, if a player or coach got the virus? Yes, I do.

I almost get the sense that you think I have an irrational fear of the coronavirus. Again, I'm not sure what I said that gave that impression, but no - I am not afraid of the coronavirus. I'm not the cause nor am I contributing to the unprecedented societal unrest (at least during my lifetime), but I would be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little interested in what's going on.

MAC has cancelled so, no MACtion.

PAC 12 has cancelled.

St John's and Creighton are playing right now. There can't be too many other games still scheduled.

[Wildcat Khan]

I read your post a couple times and I'm lost. What conclusions did I jump too?

I don't recall saying Coach Hoiberg has the virus, at least I'm not seeing where I said it in my post... I'll need a little help on that one.

*IF* coach has coronavirus, I think it's a logical assumption that the NCAA would cancel the tournament. That's different than coming to the conclusion that he has it, however.

EDIT: Reports are saying Influenza A. I'm glad I didn't assume he had COVID 19. *eye roll*
