A true Rutgers scenario

[newell138]

• On selection Sunday we are announced as a #8 seed
• On Monday the tournament is canceled due to Coronavirus

The tournament won't be cancelled. May be played without fans at some sites, absolutely (already Dayton and Cleveland), but won't be cancelled.

At least that would be better than them canceling on Sunday morning before even announcing the field.

They're gonna play without a crowd. Pretty silly but next year when we're in the tourney again hopefully they get to experience the crowds.

This absolutely blows for Yeboah and Carter in particular

Dont be so sure about that now. Not as severe but I always felt bad for those people that qualified for the Olympics, some training their whole life for it, and Jimmy Carter crashed that dream.

Hopefully they can play the games w/ no crowds at least

It is certainly trending towards cancellation or postponement. I feel they will follow the NBA’s lead and all it will take is any player or staff member to test positive.

under this scenario, at least the 29yr draught ends, just a shame won't be able to see these guys on the big stage....will have to wait until next year.

hoping they play - but there is the probability event that they suspend or cancel.

Well let's hope they announce who gets into the tournament before they cancel it (I definitely believe it's going to be canceled).

Worst situation for us is that we don't even get in because selection show never happens.

They can still do an in studio selection show. At least give the players the satisfaction of making the tournament if they're not going to let them play in it.

Without fans or flat out canceling, you have to really feel bad for the guys on the team.
