We should all be basking in the glow of a MAC championship and be repeatedly glancing at the clock to see if it's time to leave for the JAR for the selection watch party, but instead, nobody has posted in 14 hours. Sigh. LIFE AIN'T FAIR.

Not surprised with Toledo's transfers. They had a wildly disappointing season.

4 of the 7 dwarves.

Surprised they shut down all contact. I could see shutting down direct contact. Maybe they should leave phone contact open. I hear Mr. Pinky is good at that. https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/report-kelvin-sampson-lied-to-indiana-and-ncaa/article_5c9e237d-f826-534b-b78c-6adecada266a.html

I can't trust the NCAA to come up with any rational plan for this and they would never permit a private entity to step in and do something.

I think the spring athletes should get it for sure. As to basketball, not sure I am on board with it in general, but if they do go with it, it should just be the tourney kids who lost out.

It's presently being held in a vat of Lysol in the MAC offices.

John Calipari. He wants kids to be so good they jump to the NBA after a year!

I'm a big fan of the Tribble dunk coming down the baseline in the OU comeback. Great thread idea NWAkron.

Will they wear the blue, gold or grey hazmat suits?

Christ man. This reaction has some science and experience behind it. This is not the damn cold. I don't think panic does anyone good, but it is obvious some people need educated. These aren't schlubs making these calls, it's our best and brightest.

MAC website headline still states Quarterfinal MACtion Heats Up The FieldHouse Today Ugh.

Awful job by the NCAA in not providing the leadership to have a consistent response from the conferences and having this all come down to the last minute.

So I'm thinking there won't be a selection watch party in the JAR.

Screw up my lunch plans then make me work this afternoon!!!!!?????

That's not a good sign for a game today. Someone needs to tell them I started a thread.

It's tough growing old and feeble minded! I fixed it.

Preston is so good at penetrating and scoring or dishing when the help comes. Here's hoping Banks can shut some of that down. He's a good three point shooter too, so you have to pick your poison. I'd pick him shooting threes with a hand in his face. As for Vander Plas, he's hurt the Zips down inside by repeatedly backing down whoever is on him. They need to muscle him up and stand their ground.

This thread can remain the coronavirus debate thread. To actually discuss the game-

The Zips head into a fanless Rocket Mortgage Field House today to face the Bobcats. The Bobcats placed Preston on the All-MAC second team and Vander Plas on the third team yesterday. Vander Plas was injured in the game a couple of weeks ago against the Zips, but seems to be back at full speed having played 36 minutes, scored 28 points and pulled down 12 rebounds Monday night against CMU. The Zips beat the Snobcats by 7 at the JAR and 2 in Athens.

Good call Let'sGoZips. I was going to just do one thread for the whole tourney, but given how this has come down an individual thread would be in order.

We've also turned into a nation of dimwits, idiots and numbskulls that can't do simple things like wash their damn hands and cover themselves when they sneeze or cough.

The coronavirus is much like American politics. Too many people at the ends of the spectrum, ignorantly disregarding the risk or downright panicking. Until it settles out, I will stick with the advice of the medical professionals, thanks.

I was hoping just for 20 wins and being competitive in the MAC this season. They are way past that. Next year's squad looks promising too.
