On the flip side his most ardent supporters would say that he still has not lost a NCAA tourney game as the Indiana coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue3542 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 47 minutes ago, IU Scott said: It is not as bad as the conference tournaments because there will only be 8 teams at a location instead of maybe 14 at the conference tournament. It's worse. Everyone goes to the conference tournament, then goes home. Don't get me wrong; this will spread the virus quickly, too. For the NCAA tournament, you have at least 16 fanbases traveling to two separate locations, and at least 4 traveling to three locations. You also have people coming from literally everywhere in the US vs. regionally located for conference tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there are 8 teams for each location and for the 1st/2nd round there are 8 locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU878176 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Cancellations of everything (concerts, sporting events, conventions) are snowballing. I think it’s inevitable that the tourney will be conducted without fans (assuming its played) but think they will try to play the tourney due to the tv $$$$$$$$$.

We might as well just close the whole country and keep everyone from going to work and school and just stay isolated in their houses. The only problem with that is that we couldn't eat since the grocery stores and restaurant's will be closed as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Heard on the Radio at lunch Houston may not allow fans at big events until after March. NCAA South Regional?

IU Scott Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I just thought of something if they don't play the tournament I have already put in to take those two days off of the tournament. If they don't play then I might as well not waste those two vacation days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
