HoosierPal Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 25 minutes ago, kshoe said: The fact Duke just bowed out of the ACC tournament because of 1 positive COIVD test has me rethinking the likelihood of a team dropping out of the NCAA tourney between selection Sunday and 6 PM on Tuesday when the reserve teams could be added. After 6 PM it will just be viewed as a forfeit. The 5 player thing isn't really a major factor, as basically once you have one positive test among a group that has been practicing and playing together, it's going to be hard for the rest of the team to continue playing if there is a chance they have COVID... I wonder if the rules are different for a team (SLU) that has had the virus. CDC now says if you have had it within 90 days and you are a close contact, you don't need to quarantine. Hmmm. The 5 player issue is a travesty. I'm not going to research it, but was any NCAA D1 game this season been played with all 5 players going 40 minutes? (I'd look at St.B first if I was digging into this.) A foul out or an injury and you are looking at playing an NCAA Tourney game 4 on 5. Would the refs tend to not call fouls to prevent a foul out? Too much on the line to go this way. 6 or 7 players would, for me, help keep the integrity of the situation intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also know they likely aren't going to the NCAA tourney anyway so it's not that hard of a decision to take the "moral" high ground. Whether a team that is a 7 seed and receives a positive result back on Monday will come to the same conclusion that they need to shut down the season and allow one of the reserve teams into the tourney is a whole different story. I really don't know what will happen in that scenario. The other side of this coin is that Duke played Louisville last night. Louisville is very much on the bubble and would be a potential opponent for us to add. However, I can't imagine we're keen on playing them knowing they had exposure. I really hope the L to Duke knocks Louisville out. I think our overall resume is better than theirs, but I'm not sure the selection committee sees it that way.

If you played any decent team non-conference (another Covid issue) and surprised them, you would have been ranked, and then we would be fine today. No one on this board thought ossunyi was very good, but we have shut up about it now. 7’8” wingspan. That is pretty freaking rare. -not this, we made our own bed brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Griffin Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 8 minutes ago, AnkielBreakers said: Could be that they also want to protect their coach, who hopefully is vaccinated, but do not see any risk on him as worth it. Makes some sense. Love him or hate him, but no one really compares to him. For what it’s worth he was out early in the non-con schedule when they were getting crushed saying why are we even doing this? He was being a HUGE whiner.

Mizzou dropping in the NET rankings makes us look better by comparison. It's not the ultimate decider, it may not move the needle much - it's just every little bit that helps.

In my own experience and in other's I've talked to, the first shot is bad if you were previously infected. Basically you're second exposure to the virus will make you feel crummy, whether that's the second shot or your first shot if you had the virus SLU_Lax likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That day was light soreness, over night into the next day it was pretty sore. Arm started feeling better then boom. body ache along with fever and chills. Im only 30. If the 2nd shot is this bad, tbh getting covid would not have been much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
