Is this the first time we have ended the season with a win?

I know this is our board for OHIO, but...this really sucks for UD. They caught lightning in a bottle this year and no dance for them (in all likelihood). I understand the concept of "flattening the curve", but their players and lifelong fans must be heartbroken.

This was the best shot for a midmajor champion in a long time. With as crazy as this season was, the tournament would have been incredible.

Gary Parrish on CBSSN this afternoon helped define the problem. If one player or coach on a team tests positive, the WHOLE TEAM AND ANYONE THEY'VE HAD CLOSE CONTACT WITH would face quarantine. No school or conference wants to run that risk.

They say that one person in New Rochelle, NY may have infected 50 or more people in just five days. That's how quickly it can spread. There have been about 1200 cases identified in the US but only 11,000 people have been tested (a million test kits have been distributed but very few have been used). That means about 11% of the people who have been tested have tested positive. If that holds true for the rest of the US population, more than 33 million people could be infected.

The Jazz players who have tested positive were in Cleveland, New York, Boston and Detroit in just the past 10 days. They played Toronto at home two nights ago. They could've picked up the virus from or given the virus to players on any of those teams or anybody else they had close contact with.

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

Relax...I'm not oblivious to the enormity of what is going on in the world. I'm just speaking from a purely basketball standpoint. If you think I don't think this is the right move to cancel all of these tournaments, then you're wrong.

So...can we talk about next season? Starting lineup of Preston, McDay, BVP, Roderick and JUCO/grad transfer with a bench of Brown, Towns, Murrell, Foster, White and Granger. I am good!! Even if Springs and McMurray stay.

If you believe what another poster says, Murrell could be in line to graduate and it's not a guarantee he would stay either. I'm really curious to see if Foster or Springs can both bulk up and improve over the summer. Otherwise we're really gonna need a JUCO/Grad big again. I think we're set on guards and wings for the time being, but the bench will be thin again.

As soon as the NCAA tournament gets canceled, UD needs to make a statement claiming the National Championship. Their key arguments would be the nation's longest current winning streak and being the only team being undefeated during regulation this season (both losses were in overtime).

Presuming there is March Madness,with the cancellation of conference tournaments,I wonder how the NCAA will deal with automatic bids.

If there is a regular season champion,I presume they go.

If there is more then 1 team,does the conference flip a coin,or does the NCAA selection committee ?

There other issue.
The NIT.
Regular season champs go to the NCAA.
How do they set up the NIT ?

Hey that's how LSU got into the BCS title game in 2007! Undefeated in regulation!

Governor Cuomo talked about this when he announced the Containment Zone.

This will sound prejudice,but this is an Orthodox Jewish area.
This creates a number of "problems"
People may remember last year's Measles Epidemic in the same ethnic neighborhoods.

Cuomo said,that this area was a well defined "cluster", with significantly more cases then any other part of the state,including NYC.

That was the reason for the Containment Zone.

The containment zone does not restrict movement and the Jewish community is very appreciative, because Mr. Garbuz attended a temple located in the zone and 50 others that are infected can be linked to him. Mr. Garbuz is istill hospitalized, his wife seems to be doing well. Governor Cuomo is doing the right thing, he is mounting a response to mitigate the spreading of the virus. The Jewish community knows that. They are actually doubling the governor’s efforts.

New Rochelle is located in Westchester County, where around 17% of the population is Jewish, according to a 2011 study by UJA-Federation of New York. The city is home to several synagogues of various denominations, as well as a half-dozen kosher restaurants. Several notable Jewish Americans come from the city, including “Fiddler on the Roof” composer Jerry Bock, Union of Reform Judaism president Rabbi Rick Jacobs, and “West Wing” actor Joshua Malina.

UJA-Federation is having twice-daily “crisis team” meetings to discuss how best to assist Jews affected by the outbreak and its aftereffects, said chief program officer Rabbi Deborah Joselow.

The organization is offering Shabbat care packages to quarantined families, as well as considering the provision of remote counseling for people dealing with anxiety over continued confinement or fear for loved ones.


Jewish schools in the area - both inside and outside the one-mile containment zone - have already closed and are conducting classes online. Groups like the Jewish Education Project and PJ Library have created resources for stuck-at-home parents to keep their children educated and occupied. And the Hebrew Free Loan Society is offering interest-free loans of up to $5,000 to residents who need financial assistance due to lost wages or extra child care or medical costs.

Young Israel of New Rochelle, which was ordered by the county health commissioner to close its doors, has also been conducting classes via the teleconferencing software Zoom. Young Israel Rabbi Reuven Fink, who himself has contracted coronavirus, wrote last week that there were some upsides to the quarantines and synagogue closures.

“There are some positive elements that can be found in looking at our predicament,” he wrote. “It slows down the pace of our frenetic lives. That can be positive. It can give us more time with our families. Maybe that book that we never got around to reading can be read now. Maybe we always wanted to find time to learn Torah. We now have that opportunity.”

Since the synagogue was closed and so many congregants are under quarantine and thus unable to attend Purim services at a different synagogue, members of the Chabad movement are going house-to-house, chanting the Book of Esther outside people’s doors and windows.

The NCAA always leaves it up to the conferences to pick their champions.

As for the NIT, if it goes off some conferences have already had their tourneys and one or two regular season champs didn't win. They would be in the NIT along with whoever else is chosen. I'm thinking that the NIT will be scaled down considerably, if it goes at all.

Now that the NCAA is banning fans from Madness games, they should look at facilities that don't host professional teams. One reason the NHL suspended its season is that many of its teams share facilities with other sports teams. Colleges are less likely to have that issue, especially if they have already suspended activities.

We will get by.
