Now that pro sports are canceling games, this seems quite likely to me. I am wondering if it�s just a matter of debating how to handle the money and TV fallout from such a decision. It�s not an especially good look now that the NBA is not playing but unpaid college kids are.

ESPN 850 Cleveland just reported that the MAC says they are going forward with today's games.

If that's correct, GO BOBCATS!

The NBA cancelled because one player tested positive. A second player on the Jazz has also tested positive. So far, apparently no college players have tested positive, but probably the minute the first one does, we'll see whole tournaments cancelled. I'm not optimistic that the NCAA tourney or the NIT will be played all the way through this year.

We will get by.
We will get by.
We will get by.
We will survive.

Gotta imagine Jackson isn't going to have a bad game like he did at the JAR. We gotta figure out how to handle their ball pressure that led to the comeback in the 2nd half of that one. Offense can't get stagnant.

(sorry folks, trying to take my mind off the virus and talk about this game)

God bless you, love the thought!!

As to myself, with everything going on and the fact that I just can't see how any tournaments are going forward, my enthusiasm for this game is virtually nonexistent. It's weird, I care but don't care, as weird as that may sound.

That has to translate to the cancellation of the tournament, right?

Was there a reason provided?

I have no respect for University Administration, the MAC or the NCAA.

I've seen crazier things happen.

The optimist in me says the delay is because they don't need the extra time between the 1st and 2nd sessions to clear the arena and let the 2nd session attendees in.

Big 10 and the ACC just cancelled their tournaments. And the SEC too.

I think it's safe to say the college basketball season is over.

Simply incredible. Can't see how they can move forward with the NCAA Tournament. #gutted

I have no sound on my TuneIn app from the pregame show. It cut out about 10 minutes ago. Anyone else?

Power 5 conferences shutting it down. How in the hell can the MAC play? Just end the guessing already.

The reason was Cavs players were exposed to the guy from Utah. The delay is that further discussions and take the temperatures of every athlete

There is no way this game tips off. They delayed to buy time...and in the meantime the Big Ten and others cancelled their tourneys. MAC will follow. Hope I'm wrong. If not, I'm crushed....been excited all week for this shot at Akron.

They are still announcing on Power 105 if you get that. The players seem to be playing an informal scrimmage while they are waiting for news.

Yes, Russ talking To Boals right now. He said the teams are indeed playing a pickup game right now and he said he will let them play until they kick them out.

All year we said get to Cleveland and it doesn't matter what happens there. The experience will be huge moving forward for 2020-2021 and now this happens. We get to Cleveland and don't get the experience. Mind boggling.
