clarkwgriswold Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 X was named Player of the Week- https://getsomemaction.com/news/2020/3/8/mac-announces-final-mens-basketball-players-of-the-week.aspx Nice to see him come around. He spoke after the PCCC game on the post-game and referenced his shooting slump. He said it was nice that the coaches and players kept supporting him and telling him to shoot and that as a shooter he needs that confidence. He also referenced that he's had some "personal stuff" going on. Hopefully, he's past the slump and the personal stuff. He's such a likable kid. He's east to root for.

If X gets back on his early season form again, look out MAC and whoever we would draw in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 One person is hospitalized at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. 2 others are in self-quarantine. These folks have been out in the community for the last several weeks, and chances are that this spirals fast. It is important to note that the reasoning behind any potential cancellation is NOT the risk to the general public, it is the risk of exposing high-risk demographics (75+/<1yr/immuno-compromised). Working in healthcare, it drives me nuts that people are calling this "hysteria." The risk is real, and mortality rates may be as high as 25-30x that of the seasonal flu.

clarkwgriswold Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 The most infuriating are the idiots the break quarantine to do stuff like go to a father-daughter dance. This is going to be an odd March madness time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok...everyone...no hugs, no high 5s, no handshaking...keep it real and be responsible. If you see someone not washing their hands or appears to be sick...don't get too close...but call them out on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's going to be the Kittens Central made a run and put Kittens on their heals for a few minutes. One of my rules, never count on a directional Michigan school or the Akron women's team to get the job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 It makes our half of the bracket easier as Buffalo is better than NIU. We still got to take care of business Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three in my family that work in hospitals and none are overly concerned. Cautious yes. What is basis of 25x? I expect the number of cases to go up now that testing has started. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Buffalo’s exit costs the tournament a few thousand tickets sold. Miami and NIU might bring 300 combined to their Thursday game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
