Big-12 Tourney

@Marco said in Big-12 Tourney:
I think that they should cancel all conference tournaments and - not out of the realm of possibility (and not just for us) - start the tournament at a later date.
Somebody mentioned about moving the tournament back BUT they said they aren’t going to do that. they already have the date set for reserving the arena - have the Hotels all booked and ya da ya da it goes on and on. - -They want that Money things already in place
-
If I were in charge - for the sake of everyone, and people need March Madness this year - I would cancel all conference tournaments and start the real dance week after next. Let’s face it, other than a few teams that get lucky at the right time they already know who is in or out. It is not just Kansas that has positives.

Do you have a list of other teams that have positives? I’ve only heard of Duke and Kansas.
-
@bskeet Virgina. And there will be more to come.

Virginia & the # 1 seed of the I believe in the MAAC along with Duke & KU at this minute
-
WSU has 2, not sure if they are non-players.
-
@jayballer67 you get your vaccine?
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 are you feeling better?
-
I just read that KU BB team is staying in KC to prep for the NCAA tourney. So is the positive player Dave or Tristan? I thought they just stayed in Lawrence due to contact tracing protocols, not a positive test (as of yesterday). Seems like if it was a player in last night’s game, we’d definitely be history for the season.
Just weird to not have more details. I’m sure Oklahoma isn’t too happy either.
-
@DanR That is what I was getting at earlier. Did they contract the virus in KC? I don’t know.
-
This news today, by the way, is exactly one year since they pulled the plug in 2020. (almost to the minute that I found out about it.)

The player that tested positive today, played in last night’s game. OU is definitely not happy. They probably go under quarantine as well.
-
@Marco yes, thx! Arm is still really red, somebody came up to me and slapped me there. Just a “how u doing?” Took my breath away.
-
@DanR they did stay in lawrence
-
On the bright side, Texas did not beat us 3 times in the same season.
-
@DanR I’d guess they got it from David or Tristan. It takes 2-14 days, usually about 5.

I expect we’re done for the year then. I still want to see KU on the official tournament bracket though.
-
2020-21 brings a whole new meaning to “survive and advance.”
-
Not like we’ll ever know for sure, but the way things are going, UTEP was the probably the source.
-
@bskeet could have been literally a thousand other opportunities I’m sure. We were honestly overdue.
-
Yah… but it’s easier if we could just call it the UTEP virus.
-
just rread off another site that KU has until 11:00 p.m. tomorrow night to notify the NCAA if they would be able to play in the tourney
-
OU is probably calling it the Jayhawk virus
-
@DanR touché
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Nobody ever touches me until i get a tattoo. Then it’s a slap/slug/punch fest. REALLY?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 but otherwise okay, good.
-
I am so ready for our nation and world to get back to atleast some semblance of normal…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Big-12 Tourney:
@DanR they did stay in lawrence
Bill self put out a statement that they are going to stay in Kansas City and prepare for the NCAA tournament
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 I mean big dave and Tristan

@JAYHAWKFAN214 I mean big dave and Tristan there will be good to go
-
As we all know and has been mentioned on the radio sports I’m listening to - -this won’t be the last School this happens to - -there are going to be more with these Conference Tourneys
-
So will we get a 10-minute expose on ESPN about our season like Duke did yesterday?
-
Jalen was the covid case apparently.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Big-12 Tourney:
Jalen was the covid case apparently.
Great.- - at this point I don’t think in the ed , it matters who it was , were not going to be able to get 7 straight negative days testing - -thinking were done
-
I think Jalen and Tristan are buds, so that was kind of who I was suspecting.
How does the 7 straight days thing work. If everyone but Jalen tested negative for the past 60+ days, yesterday and today, then continue to be negative through next Wednesday/Thursday what’s the prob?
-
The bright side is we don’t have to take another pounding from Texas. There… I said it.
Is this real? Self always hated this tourney anyways and wanted to rest his players for the big dance.

No I wouldn’t say Bill self hates the Big 12 tournament
-
OK, now Self says there were three positives, including Tristan and Dave (who up until now, I’d thought were isolated due to contact tracing, but maybe I missed something)
-
Self still planning to go to Indy with all but the three players… yeah, we’ll see.
-
Gary Bedore has said that Coach Self told him that THREE PLAYERS will not travel with the team to Indy on Monday. Now don’t know who that maybe , Could be the two Tristan & Dave plus the other player that played last night - - - Could be some walk on’s. whoever.
Matt Tait Tweeted out everything he is hearing was sounding positive that KU will play in the tourney. - -only takes 5 healthy players, sounds like as long as we have 5 healthy players - - were playing. could be Harris Braun , Jethro , Tehan , Oachi whatever but as long as we have FIVE - -saying the fan base deserve it - -the players deserve it - would probably drop to a 12 or 13 seed if it’s walk on’s and such with a couple af regulars what a mess. – Marcus is Jalens room mate being told Lordy

Basely the the was McCormick and Tristan and likely Wilson
-
So Jalen is out the first weekend. Every single season somebody key is out

Yes. They should be able to return next week. Who knows tho

Likely but McCormick and the other one will be back
-
@BeddieKU23 we have had the worst luck.
Embiid, Perry, and Doke x2.

Jon rotation @jon rotation 9m Source the NCAA tournament selection committee went through the bracket today and introduced both Kansas and Virginia without hesitation. Plans are moving forward for both to be playing next week
