I think we will see a nationwide quarantine fairly soon.

If I had to guess I would say we won’t see any start to baseball until May at the earliest. Probably will be later than that.

In looks like in France over 50% of intensive care patients are under 60. https://www.yahoo.com/news/france-more-half-coronavirus-patients-140950187.html

I’ll go with 22.68% game1: 90% game2: 70% game3: 60% game4: 60% Maybe Jim Dahl can run his simulations using the top 16 and see how often UND wins.

Masters golf tournament postponed

Wonder how this affects any bonus for the coaches that are tied into how they finish in the NC$$ tourney? Nothing paid out ? If so that would be a bummer for them.

This hurts as much or more than 2011. At least in 2011 the team had a chance to win.

The NC$$ has blessed the pairwise system as a means of selection and seeding the tournament. It is based on a complete seasons body of work. Therefore, if you are not going to play the tournament then you should award the championship to the team that would have been the #1 overall seed. UND was also #1 in KRACH. Congratulations to the University of North Dakota players and coaches winning the 2020 national title.

While that’s not the way I would want to win the title I would still take it. It’s not as though they didn’t earn it. They would have earned it through the body of work for an entire season. It would be hard to argue not to give it to them since they are #1 in the pairwise by a considerable margin.

The snowball is now an avalanche. We may have seen the last college hockey game of the season.

Berry will have to hold up one of the players.

I think everyone is doing what they feel is the best interest of people’s health. The virus seems to be spreading fast and the more cases that occur the faster it will spread. A certain percent of cases (15% ?) will need hospital care and for some intensive care. There won’t be enough space for all. If we can do something to mitigate the spread then we should error on the side of caution. I say this as someone who is currently having to self isolate because I came into contact with someone who tested positive for Coronavirus.

With the NBA suspending their season I don’t see any way the NCAA will be able to justify holding their tourneys. They will see too much risk in sending players across the country.

I have a feeling that there will be no NCAA tournament this year, hockey or basketball. It seems to be heading in that direction.

This gives the big10 a huge advantage. They’ve been playing in front of empty arenas during the playoffs for a number of years.

Congrats to NDSU. I will be cheering for them in the NC$$ tourney...to get crushed.

You’re probably right but there is no chance to make a comeback with the current tempo. Just not enough possessions.

Would like to see UND up the defensive tempo by full court pressing. NDSU can just use up most the shot clock right now. NDSU is way too comfortable on offense. On offense try to draw contact on every trip and try to get them in foul trouble. Too far down to have any realistic chance but at least try something.

Don’t think so. Third game in three days to go along with fact that they aren’t real good. They did finish 6th in the league. Looked like their legs were tired from the start. Can’t make shots, missing free throws, poor defensive play. If they wanted any chance to win this game they needed to get off to a good start, instead it was a horrible start. Hopefully there will be better years in the near future. I believe UND has finally got a good head coach and will have them moving in the correct direction fairly soon.

Offense won’t matter a bit if they don’t start playing better defense. No where near aggressive enough on defense. They’re giving up drives to the basket and wide open threes.

Dead legs

Nice comeback !!
