Lowered the risk of someone testing positive and missing out on the post-season completely. That isn't a risk for SLU. Even if someone tested positive today on the Billikens, the 11 guys that had it in January would be eligible to play in the NCAA tourney because they are within the 3 month legal immunity window.

If I'm them, I seriously consider shutting it down They may well shut down the tourney, but given it generally takes a few days from exposure to the virus until it shows up as a positive on tests, it seems more likely to be a coincidence related to daily testing than something where the virus is actively being spread at the tournament site. Who know how this will shake out, but my guess is Virginia will still be able to play in the dance. If they test the remaining players for the next 7 days and they are negative they'll be following CDC guidance that if you test 7 days after exposure and are negative you don't need to quarantine any longer. Tournament could start Saturday for them and last exposure to the infected player was likely yesterday (or maybe this AM) so that is either 8 or 9 days.

Old guy Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Let me get this straight kshoe, you say that immunity is determined by law (or regulations)? Medical diagnosis/status based upon regs? This is, as I hope you realize, pure crap. Health cannot be regulated, it just happens, and every individual reacts in their own way to an infection or a vaccine. Whether the regs allow the Bills to play or not has nothing to do with whether they get sick, or are immune (and for how long) or not.

I'm telling you it is a fact that any person in this country that gets COVID does not need to quarantine or test for COVID for the next 3 months after they get it unless they display symptoms. Contact tracing does not apply. For all practical purposes they are legally viewed as immune to the disease for those 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough players and staff in the 3 month clear window from already testing positive. We are good to go for the postseason COVID wise.

I doubt it will end up being one player but it also seems like full-team outbreaks like SLU had are not the norm. I guess we also don't know how many players on Virginia, if any, are in the 90 day window where they don't have to be tested. I'm not getting my hopes up that this will keep Virginia from playing. My fear is that even if Virginia would have a team-wide outbreak, those positive tests wouldn't come back until after the Tuesday deadline meaning the NCAA won't replace them in the NCAAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I underline current, as CDC seems to be putting out new guidance weekly. What I don't know is what the NCAA and Marion County (Indy) rules are for the tourney. We do know that the NCAA has said you only need 5 players to start a game. (Now could a team like VA, go back home and pick up a new walk-on to make 5 if that is an issue?)

slufan13 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I am actually pretty surprised that no team opted out of their conference tournaments especially teams that were locks for the NCAAT. As some people have said on Twitter, there is a chance that this semi-bubble in Indy could become a super spreader event.

The difference is Duke knew they weren't getting in and now this can be the technical excuse for why they didn't make it. The Duke women also shut down their season in December.

HoosierPal Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The odds of all 68 teams testing 7 days negative to play in the tourney are slim. There will be substitute teams that play.
