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 $$$$$$$$$. Two of the nation's largest St. Paddy day parades.... Chicago, and Denver.... have been cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be at home watching 24/7. Unfortunately, I live in SEC football country. I don't think they even know what basketball IS, much less follow it.

Joe_Hoopsier Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 What a legendary year. First Coach Night comes back as a precursor to the other Masiyah's surley return. We are living the final days my friends. . I think Jesus returns to slap us all freakin stooooopid and tell us to get our sh$t together.

FW_Hoosier Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Absolutely wild. Tbh I think all this weirdness this gives IU a better chance of making a run. This tournament will be one you always remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well, I'll be watching the games with my daughter whose school (Phillips Exeter) just pushed back classes to mid-April with online only classes starting March 26. Meanwhile, my oldest, at Northwestern, says the school may (like Harvard just did) send everyone home for the spring terms with online only classes, and my middle child, at SHSU here in Texas is hearing nothing from the school, because here, business is as usual, lol.

IowaHoosierFan Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just think though, refs will not get caught up in the crowd going wild when a team makes a run. I think you're going to see the Mid Majors get wiped out because there is nothing there to fuel them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
