Drake vs UNI Arch Madness Cancelled (Drake advances)

[Expert]

What's the o/u on teams defaulted from NCAA tournament? Thinking 2.5 but maybe low

Glad Iowa's guys partied in large groups over the summer.

Yesterday during the UNI game they thru up a graphic bragging on their leadership for being the only conference to complete every conference game this season. You'd think announcers learned from all the FT shooters they jinxed.

 

[DeereClone]

UNI wasn't even a real positive. False positive followed by 2 negative tests. This thing's a mess.

I heard the same thing from a reliable source within the program.

Such bullsh!t. I was really looking forward to watching that game tonight and hoping for a UNI upset.

It's not good for Drake to miss this game either. With all of the injury issues they have going on I have to presume that the coaching staff and players want as much real game time as possible going into the semifinals tomorrow, likely against a good Missouri State team instead of going in completely cold like they will be.

Preach it brother Chipp!!

Where are you seeing that?

From a UNI parent.

It's just incomprehensible.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Weird. I thought we were finally getting over this.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I feel like Drake would have lost tonight. Probably for the best for them. I hope they don't, but expecting them to lose tomorrow

St Louis sucks.

A microcosm of the state of our society right now. It will be funny when mad Fran and the best hok team in 100 years get told to go home just like last year.

Missouri State is pretty good. They'd be my upset pick to go all the way in the MVC Tourney (if as you say Drake is down/depleted).

So this was decided by the state of Missouri. I'd hope that the NCAA was in talks with Indiana before placing the tournament there. Not knowing Indiana's policies, I'd imagine that the NCAA shopped around for a state that was going to be lenient on their policies.

This is insane. Do you think your entertainment is worth even a single life?

Wild thing is some of those regs/guidance could also be a moving target (adjusted since decided, etc)

But horrible look for MVC.....you'd think COVID protocols would be #1 agenda item in all of their discussions leading up to this.

I think it was a City of St Louis decision.

NCAA shoulda chose Texas.

Might be best for Drake to lose today and not make the Tourney. With the injuries, I think they'd get thumped in 1st round.

Two reasons to care:
Maybe you have a vested interest in one of the teams (alum, parent, etc.)
The potential that this is a preview of what's coming in conference tournaments and march madness

And yet here you are, commenting on a thread about it...

If this happens to Iowa in the Ncaa tourney it might be the funniest thing to ever happen
