It's a bold move by the NCAA and I commend them for taking the difficult action.

Whether this is an over-reaction or not is almost immaterial.  If the public needs to see and feel the severity of the problem, this is a big step towards that.

Won't disagree for the most part ... but sometimes these decisions also cause more panic in the public. It is a slippery slope. I think a lot of this was caused by some places (leave that open to interruption) panicking or overreacting ... and now everyone is doing it causing possibly more panic.


Another perspective from an infectious disease specialist:  https://talbotspy.org/letter-from-toronto-an-infectious-diseases-specialist-reflects-on-corvid-19/?fbclid=IwAR1KJt0QaVh4q5yUUcn6W0gIYUHFmef6exKCGUju8574PfuFZGu3wSDK_Lw

OAC just folded up shop for *all* athletic activities for the remainder of the spring season.   Schools with teams/individuals still participating/qualified for winter championships have the option to continue there.

"The Conference will appeal to the NCAA to re-gain a season of eligibility and an extra semester to participate for all spring student-athletes who have participated thus far at OAC member institutions. "

so this weekend may be last d3 basketball games played for 19-20 season.  for WBB, even if OH opened doors for game to be played sans fans, I do not see it happened at all.  with all of this swirling around, some players are having hard time focusing on prep for this weekend's games.

The NCAA just released a statement. All remaining winter and spring championships are canceled.

And with that, the 2019-20 seasons have come to a sudden end.

What a week it has been in college basketball. Exactly a week ago, as we hit the air, the first signs that COVID-19 was going to impact the NCAA Tournaments was seen. Since then, it has been a whirlwind.  

Tonight on Hoopsville, we try and make sense of one of the stranger finishes in history for NCAA events. What started with isolated closings of gyms for games ends a week later in all games being called off through the rest of the academic year.

We will chat with those who were preparing for games on Friday and hear their reactions to the seasons coming to a close so quickly.

Congrats to CNU 2020 NCAA Men's and Women's National Co-Champions!!!!  ;D

(Stole it from Coach K and Dave on Hoopsville).

Dave -- I was almost there! Haha. After class I ran into some athletic department folks heading home and they told me where the team was eating. I almost headed there but decided they just needed to be to themselves! Nice show, by the way. A difficult one for sure. You managed it with great empathy and understanding. Nicely done!

While the season came to an abrupt end, there are still student-athletes, coaches, and programs to recognize for what they accomplished this season.

On a special edition of Hoopsville, we not only look at the final Top 25 polls of the season, but we also take a look at the All-Region awards. Plus, the NABC All Star Rosters are announced, exclusively, here tonight. We then will talk to long time NABC Board of Directors member Pat Cunningham about the team and the announcement he is retiring as Trinity (Texas) men's basketball coach.

And we have a round-table discussion of all things Division III basketball. Pat Coleman, Gordon Mann, Ryan Scott, and Bob Quillman saddle up to their computers and join us for a spirited chat and maybe even answer your questions.
