Discussions about not having conference tournaments

Indy Coug

1/26/21 10:59am

It might be time for conference tournaments to go away anyway.

Jeffacka

1/26/21 11:01am

The conference tournaments are de facto extensions of a 357 team, quasi-double elimination tournament

Indy Coug

1/26/21 11:02am

I get that and it's fun, but regular season conference championships

bluescholar

1/26/21 11:04am

"The regular season should mean more" - why don't we just do a 4-team playoff

Coooooogs

1/26/21 2:49pm

It would be nothing like football. You'd still have the same amount of teams and

regular season still means a lot in terms of getting an auto bid

That is one of the best parts of college basketball

Conference tournaments? They're good, but not that great.

Jeffacka

1/26/21 11:08am

That they are a play-in to the tournament. That is the best part.

Sea Chicken

1/26/21 11:15am

Sure, but look at how some conferences make sure that's not going to happen.

Jeffacka

1/26/21 11:21am

But not even remotely close to the way football makes sure it doesn't happen.

Sea Chicken

1/26/21 11:42am

And yet every single team still has a chance if they get hot. Something BYU

Uconn 2011 one of the most amazing post seasons ever in NCAA bball.

Beating all those ranked teams in conf. tournament was exciting.

Jeffacka

1/26/21 1:22pm

You’d rather have a structure without the ability to play in? It would just

Star-Lord

1/26/21 12:20pm

It worked fine that way for many years. Did it bother you back then?

Jeffacka

1/26/21 12:36pm

Yep, and it was a 32 team tournament. You want that again?

UMWolverine

1/26/21 1:08pm

No, and it wouldn't have to be a 32 team tournament.

Jeffacka

1/26/21 1:18pm

My bad. I thought you were advocating for a tournament of only conference

UMWolverine

1/26/21 2:11pm

No, every conference would still have an auto-bid. They'd just send their

1/26/21 1:00pm

For this year. I'm okay with that especially because BYU rarely does well there.

Archaea

1/26/21 4:45pm

Because there are people who need the vaccine more

Kaze

1/26/21 11:01am

It's a small drop in the ocean of vaccine doses available right now

Indy Coug

1/26/21 11:03am

There are still people that need it more that aren't allowed to get it yet

Kaze

1/26/21 11:06am

Yeah I love basketball but I’d way rather my dad get the vaccine than watch a conference tournament right now.

Ashtrash

1/26/21 12:03pm

Your dad isn't going to not the vaccine because a college bball player did.

No touching

1/26/21 4:09pm

The rollout of the vaccine is absolutely based on prioritization. I can't see

Tricky

1/26/21 5:47pm

Someone’s dad would.

Mtbcoug

1/26/21 6:48pm

What would you put as the delay time if bball players received the vaccine first?

No touching

1/26/21 7:10pm

Who knows... point is that they are young and healthy and don't need it.

Mtbcoug

1/26/21 7:19pm

I'm also 100% in the let them play camp. But I'd rather they get vaccinated than not be allowed to play.

No touching

1/26/21 7:34pm

Tough argument. Tell elderly people that Americans need to watch

Tricky

1/26/21 2:01pm

Yeah except there is a marketing campaign to get the people who are eligible to

What did I miss?

gmoney7

1/26/21 11:02am

Yes. they don’t know if the vaccine will prevent transmission or how long

The vaccine... My wife works at a hospital and they had the first round of

They're weighing the risks and benefits just as you are and came up with a

Not playing Conf Tourneys won't prevent the virus from spreading

How many athletes have died from covid? How many hospitalized? Why do

It's all Coach K's fault - His team sucks & his karma is to destroy everyone

aaronmania

1/26/21 12:09pm

maybe if they categorized athletes as "essential workers"

Hill4Heisman

1/26/21 12:13pm

The real truth is these extremely health young men should have never been told

1/26/21 12:26pm

amen.

'69chevy

1/26/21 12:28pm

it was never about protecting athletes, it's about protecting those at risk

Hill4Heisman

1/26/21 2:11pm

Agree to disagree. I have a slightly skewed perspective since it was a healthy

1/26/21 3:12pm

Only athletes that pay more taxes than the average Joe should be able to cut in

LifeLongLakerFan

1/26/21 2:12pm

I'd wait for a vaccine to give it to these athletes. I'm all on board for this

OldFogey

1/26/21 2:38pm

Because the lives of the most vulnerable are a ton more important than sports

1/26/21 4:01pm

So keep the most vulnerable away?

How about just play! There is a 99+% chance they will recover if they get it!

SoValleyCOUG

No kidding! AGREE

BYU Tuba

1/26/21 4:43pm

Because according to "the experts" the vaccine may not stop the spread

HighHorse

Of the few young people I know, 100% of them are carrying on life as normal.
