Big-12 Tourney
-
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.

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
-
@DanR for sure it’s jalen?
-

I’m past thinking its luck anymore

hmmm he said there would be 3 players not traveling with the team
-
Not directly with us, but thinking with Texas just automatically sliding into Championship because of our COVID - - this is going to be a rested Texas team night off , while Oklahoma State and Baylor battling it out, might give Texas a little edge plenty of rest
-
Coach Self said that MCCormack & Enaruna WOULD NOT be making the trip to Indy Monday with the team due to COVID-19 protocol - - Makes me wonder if they will fly up to Indy later in the week or are they just out period ?
-

Yes They will be there later in the week
-
Sorry, I passed along unverified info from Lawrence Journal World sportswriter, Gary Bedore, (who drew conclusions about Tristan and David…)
Not verified that they ever tested positive. Still just following “protocol” whatever that means.
-
@DanR unfortunately i think we have to play. The committee will know if we are ineligible by 11pm tomorrow, so before selection sunday.
-
Baylor is going down to OSU. I still think they would have had 4-5 conference losses if they played the full schedule
-
.01% consolation for Baylor going down
-

I don’t
-
Cade is a very , very special special player. - - I would not want to be matched up against Oklahoma State in the NCAA - -Dangerous team

Hey that’s ok. - However Coach said they would not be making the trip to Indy with the tam on Monday. - I’m guessing if everything goes well they will fly up later in the week
-
I don’t understand how the NCAA had a year to prepare for this and didn’t plan to have a 14 day period of team bubble isolation after selected teams made the field. Some reason college basketball can’t figure this out. Every other sport has been smooth sailing. it’s not just ku but Virginia maybe too, and easily could happen to others. They had no plan in place to figure this out if this happened, no flex schedule etc. fingers crossed we can go and our players remain safe
-
@jayhawks2010 this
exactly. So dumb.
-
You really couldn’t expect Mark the idiot to prepare a proper plan now do ya? You made way too much common sense for the NCAA to ever comprehend
-
This has been talked about at least locally a lot today - - I know it’s been brought up National too. That is now do we think that in the future , do we think we will see the elimination of Conference post Season tourneys? - -This COVID seems like it would all fuel to that fire - you really have nothing to gain from these things , other then just another trophy. - -A true Champion of a Conference is determined over the Course of the Season - - NOT a 3 /4 day weekend tourney.
The Consencus seems like we are going to see many Conferences do away with post season tourneys or teams will opt out of them. - I would have to agree
-
And Baylor goes down to Okie State 83-74!

Wow, no other way to say it, this really blows.

-
@jayballer67 Our chances of participating in the NCAA tournament don’t look too good.
-
@Marco said in Big-12 Tourney:

No ever sports analysts have said ku chances don’t look good for the big 12 tournament
-
So the way I’m grasping this at this point and what we know or pretty much seems the case is - - That Jalen is the one with the COVID, which IF that is truly the case then means IF we do indeed make the tourney , we would be without Jalen this opening weekend right ?
Then Coach Self is saying that David McCormack and Tristan Enaruna will not go to Indy with the team on Monday , which in turn if they are just in protocol/meaning not necessarily they tested positive but more likely contact tracing -so if that’s the case and they would test negative would then fly up to Indy later in the week right ? to join the rest of the team right ?

Yes that would be right

Matt Tait just tweeted that there is optimism that KU will participate in the tourney. Not a sure thing, but looks better than 50% chance.
There are a lot of questions swirling like “What will the team look like? Who will be ineligible?”
But I just asked Tait if the NCAA will adjust the seeding based on who is eligible and he said “They’ll seed on KU’s entire body of work & put them where they belong. Win over OU helped. Not playing last night didn’t hurt.”

According to ESPN who talked with the Commissioner of this I guess and it says: - -After the tourney bracket has been announced - - teams will not be re-seeded so if were eligible and get picked whatever seed we get put at - - that’s where we will stay no matter who from the team goes to Indy
-
My bracket may have Covid winning it all this year, or at least in my final four.
-
Saw the video of big dave from Lawrence wishing the team good luck in Kc. He definitely had a head cold.

Saw that too. He definitely has something
-
Do we know the 3 who aren’t going to Indianapolis? Is it Dave, Tristan, and Jalen?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Not yet, but I suspect we’ll know the details in the next 24 hours - before the bracket is announced.
