Kinda Respect The Worst Team In All Of Division I (Chicago State) Refusing To Travel And Cancel Games Because They Don't Want To Deal With The Coronavirus
I know the coronavirus isn't a 'laughing matter' or whatever, but this? This is a power move. Chicago State is the absolute worst team in college hoops. They are ranked dead last on KenPom. They are 4-25 on the season with 3 of the wins coming against non-Division I teams. They are 0-14 in conference play with 2 games left. You think they want to travel across the country and play Seattle or Utah Valley? Nope.
Just say you want to save some money with travel here too. Sure, you can make the not playing Seattle believable because of the 9 deaths in the Seattle area. But, Utah Valley isn't in Seattle. Utah Valley isn't in China either. Pretty sure you're good going there.
All I know is if this stupid ass coronavirus ruins the NCAA Tournament at all, I'm going to raise so much hell. The NCAA already came out with some working group to monitor the situation.
This is the greatest thing we have in America. The NCAA Tournament is the most entertaining postseason event in all of sports. There is nothing better than the NCAA Tournament. That first Thursday and Friday are absolutely glorious - everyone either takes off work, does a half day or suckers that pretend to work and just watch 16 games each day. The buzzer beaters, Bill Raftery, One Shining Moment, Jim Nantz, everything. It's the NCAA Tournament. It's heaven.
I volunteer to get the coronavirus as long as the NCAA Tournament isn't impacted. Give me March or give me death.
