Wright out for Ga Tech due to COVID

[acc hoops]

I hate it for Tech and being truthful I hate for my bracket. Line jumped 4 points after the news. Hope we don’t get news of any FSU players testing positive.

That stinks for them and I think really removes any chance they had to advance.

Has there been any word on who UVA's positives were, and whether or not they will be full strength?

How is their whole team not out? They have not been practicing? Is the NCAA rule different from the ACC rule? We had one guy test positive and had to shut it down. Just wondering.

He won't be the last. There will be more and maybe an entire team outbecause of covid. OFC

Exactly! Shouldn't they be out for the tourney?

Sooners are without a starting guard due to Covid. 6 referees were sent home after leaving their Indy hotel to go out for dinner. Conference tournaments should have been canceled or better yet the season should have started after Easter.

This could escalate quickly and force the NCAA to make a decision. They will be in a tough spot if cases continue to pop up. Starting to feel like last year.

Agreed 100% Christo. If they pull every team that has a positive exposure this is going to be a shell of a tourney. Another lousy end to the year.

I guess I'm the only Tin Hat person who thinks that there are 3 kinds of teams: the honest ones, the superduper careful (which, like Duke, are even more vulnerable because they have no immunity), and the dishonest ones who will look the other way if a player, trainer or coach or two test positive but are symptom free.

And I suspect the third category is the most populous one.
