NCAA Tourney Team Selection Options

[J.D.]

Not over yet at least

But even if they had bubbled, Neither Michigan nor Notre Dame were infected in Fargo and Albany. The results to the tournament would have been the same. ND would not have been allowed in and Michigan would have been kicked out this afternoon.
I don't know how the bubble would have worked, though. The sports that bubbled last year (NHL, NBA) required a certain amount of isolation time before the games and practices started. This would not have been possible with the conference championships just ending 5 days ago.
I know the basketball tournament did a bubble in Indy with a similar timing situation. The way the winter sports season has gone, I think they got really really lucky that only 1 team had an issue coming in. Now that the remaining 16 teams have been in Indy for a week and a half, the bubble concept should be helping prevent any further disturbances.
If hockey followed that plan, the bubble would only really protect the frozen four teams, not really the other 12.

The sports that bubbled also had the good fortune (looking back on it now) of being played when the virus was at it's lowest point for infections. Baseball wasn't bubbled back then, and still had relatively few positives after the first week or two. Virus gonna virus, and that means seasonal rises and falls.

I'm stealing this line from someone else, but I don't care.

It says a lot when we've only seen one tournament game played thus far, yet managed to eliminate three B1G teams.

Bern...

[J.D.]

Buccigross sounds like he's locked in a closet

[Proud2baLaker]

Melrose sounds drunk.

[Fighting Sioux 23]

Melrose sounds drunk.

Drunker than normal?

[J.D.]

I don't know if UMass can do this for 60 minutes but so far they look vastly superior to the western power Wisconsin

[Proud2baLaker]

Drunker than normal?

I guess I don't know. I haven't watched anything with Melrose in like 5 years

[Proud2baLaker]

That probably does it for Lake State.

I'm being serious. Has anyone else noticed his hands shaking?

[Carmine Scarpaglia]

I'm being serious. Has anyone else noticed his hands shaking?

Yes, I was about to post about it... I personally don't mind him and hope he is ok. I am worried they are tremors that could indicate health issues.

[J.D.]

Didn't notice his hands but he had the leg shaking real good

[J.D.]

Invoke a mercy rule and let UND rest up for tomorrow

Before the first game today his hands were really shaking. I hope he's ok.
