given the amount of kids running away from Jeff Capel and to the transfers portal...

So, since the NCAA tournament's is being played in a sort of bubble, if Covid gets in, doesn't that jeopardize all of it?

 

Maybe U-Haul?

 

After the past couple days, I'm fairly confident in saying there will be a few forfeits in the NCAA tournament.

 

Well, of course. You think Mark Emmert and his merry band of overpaid, cushy executives want to pay anything for more security and tests?

If this can affect three of the top programs in the country in recent seasons, does any sane person really believe the NCAA can protect what will probably be 72 programs (68 plus four on standby) in the Indianapolis area plus supposedly 16 more in the NIT in addition to the 64 women's teams earning berths to play the tournament in San Antonio?

 

John Fulkerson from Tennessee just caught back-to-back elbows in the face that would drop any MMA champ. Oof.

 

Cheapest couple of shots I've seen in a while.

 

The first to the throat was bad, but that elbow to the temple should end that Gator’s season.

 

Since Jason Sutherland’s four years at Mizzou?

 

FWIW - ESPN's bracketology doesn't have an ACC team with a top two seen in any of the four regions. Anyone know how far back you have to go when the ACC didn't at least have a top 2 seed in a region?

 

1990 -- Duke was a 3, Georgia Tech was a 4, Clemson was a 5, Virginia was a 7 North Carolina was an 8

 

Duke and Chapel Hill have been those seeds so many times that it's not even kinda funny. Then throw in Virginia's success of recent seasons - and during Ralph Sampson's reign, Maryland under Gary Williams - think they might have done it once or twice with Lefty Driesell - Wake Forest during the Dave Odom (Tim Duncan) and Skip Prosser (Chris Paul) eras and some of Bobby Cremins' Georgia Tech's teams and yeah ... it's a strange season.

IMO, a bit of a mistake to underseed Florida State this season. Not that Leonard Hamilton gives a crap ... if anything, it will be motivation.
