College Bball Thread

USPS, you gonna be alright if tonight is the last day of college basketball until Fall? Not gonna lie, you were the first person I thought of when people started talking about the season being over. Ha. I don’t want you to succumb to heartbreak. 

I will be fine. It will stink but I still have 3 weeks off work that I can spend with my kids if this really happens

That was a big shot. Had a little “Jordan in game 6 against the Jazz” to it, with the little push off and the defender flying by so he good bury it and leave the hand in the air for the pose. Ha. Great game.

Dangerous loss for Xavier if the NCAA tourney ends up being a go.

I know the season is still going on, but right now it really just feels like it’s already over and it’s so disappointing. I look forward to March Madness more than any other sporting event and we’re all about to have that taken away. Even if they do decide to continue it, it’s just not going to be the same without fans in the stands and is going to be hard to watch and get excited for. The Ivy League commissioner is who to blame as he made the first move and put ALL other commissioners under pressure to do the same. Just disappointing and in my opinion is a major overreaction.

I really think there are two differences from the NCAA to the NBA. First, the NBA kept playing with a full crowd up until a player contracted the virus. Once a player contracts it, it is over because you have to quarantine every player they came into contact with over the last couple of weeks. I think the second thing done differently is limiting the availability of the players to the media. If they can keep them mostly off planes (or provide private planes), and manage the other things they might’ve able to. Is the risk worth it? I am personally not sure.

Yeah and remember part of the strategy here is to not necessarily limit all cases, but to avoid the spike that over-taxes healthcare facilities. So, tens of thousands of intermingling fans is something very different than 100 essential personnel for the game to get played. 
 

Is the risk worth it? Basically entertainment over public safety? I don’t know. It’s a line-drawing problem. There is value to each. I think there’s legitimate argument and room for differences here as we all decide where we think the line should be drawn. Basketball games are, on the whole, not a huge percentage of human contact taking place. A little silly to take away that interaction, which provides enormous benefit, while there are restaurants and engagement parties and church services and globogyms carrying on without interruption.

Yeah Italy wasn’t able to stop it just by not allowing fans at games. Pretty sure they ordered Cafes and Bars closed today.

As it almost always is. And this is a key point that absolutists usually miss.
