NCAA Tourney canceled

[Goo Punch 4275]

Huge news. 

Mark Few is being interviewed on ESPN right now just as they broke the news, and he said he is, "extremely, extremely disappointed", and that there was a 100% consensus among the coaching community that they wanted to wait a few weeks-a month before outright canceling it.

No need to give Shaka another year, then. /silver lining 

[texifornia 57002]

Everything cancelled. The poor softball and tennis teams, they might have made some noise.

 

[Big Frog II 511]

And with that Texas A&M has crowned itself the 2019-2020 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball National Champions.

[Underdog 28711]

Hope my bookie can recover from lack of my $5 prop bets. 

[2300 Nueces 163]

So stupid.  Cancelling cable in protest. 🙄

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Everyone working from home. No sports to watch. Divorce rates are about to go through the roof. 

[Underdog 28711]

Divorce rate rising or baby boom upcoming?

Golf Teams, Swim Teams, and T&F had chances to make some noise too...

Why not both?

I'm not sure you can really "postpone" a college championship, especially when we have no real idea when this might pass. A month from now classes will be heading towards finals, then finals in May, then summer, and for certain players, preparations for pro leagues. It's just not really practical. You can do it with the NBA where the players are under contract and have no other obligations associated with the job. Hell, they could just freeze the standings now and start playoffs in June, assuming we're back to normal by then.

[Steel Shank 9428]

I hope they don’t cancel laying pipe.

[Js1 85416]

At least we don't have to potentially watch Baylor win both tournaments.

Plus the logistics of venue scheduling/availability.  

It sucks but definitely the right call to do.

Surly bracket challenge?  Rubella is my darkhorse but don't want to make a rash decision on them yet. 

[Onboard 2.0 9083]

This sucks for all the seniors on teams across the country.  Getting deprived of that last potential college game.  

Hell, I was ballin after my last senior year HS football. These kids are all several levels of good, and competitive above me.

Coronavirus is the little shitty Big West team that won their conference tournament as a #10 seed to take some legitimate disease’s spot. Everyone knows when it comes to pure devastation on a consistent basis malaria is the GOAT.

I doubt there's much if any footage of some of the UCLA teams from late 60s into the early 70s, those would be fun to watch.  Big Red's dominating performance against Memphis St is worthy of another viewing, of course I can do w/out Wooden's final title.  Don't need to see that shit again.

Crew is like rugby and quidditch and bass fishing and bowling. Doesnt count.
