2020 NCAA Tournament

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeshiva shoots 65% from the field and beats PSU-Harrisburg, 102-83.

The JHU colorman just said that Ryan Turell was the star of the game for the Maccabees, as he scored 30 tonight. He's wrong. I don't know if anyone's ever achieved a triple-double in a tournament game before, but Gabe Leifer did it tonight for Yeshiva. Get this line: 10 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists (and only two turnovers). That's just plain meshugga!

Leifer's absence will be felt tremendously next season, but they are still alive in this one.

I'm planning to be at Randolph-Macon Friday and contemplating driving down to CNU for their game, too.  I just have to decide if I can do the four hour drive home after a 6:30 game.  TBD.

Might there again be a ban on fans at Yeshiva's game due to the corona virus?  Seems possible.

New York declared a state of emergency yesterday over the Coronavirus which may not mean much but I have to think Randolph Macon spends a few days talking about it.

There may have only been three cases in Maryland on Thursday evening but the predictions have been steadily taking a turn for the worse every since.

[SpringSt7]

So Collen Gurley goes for 40 on Friday night, and then 0 on Saturday, while Nathan Bower-Malone has 6 on Friday but 53 on Saturday?!?!?!? That has to be some sort of a record. I don't know what kind of record, but I don't think you're gonna see two teammates with a bigger variance in scoring than that, especially in the tournament.

There have been no confirmed cases on Yeshiva's campus - campus affiliated infected individuals were not on campus - no classes all week and the team is planning to stay away.  I suppose anything's possible, but Yeshiva's going to great lengths to avoid even the appearance of a problem.

[WUPHF]

I understand about Yeshiva.

My point is that the larger story of Coronavirus is that everything is developing very quickly.

St. Louis has our first case today; a student who returned from her cancelled study abroad program in Italy.

More and more colleges are cancelling classes or larger events and gatherings.

This is not the zombie apocalypse, but I think things get worse before they get better.

We got the most recent issue of TIME Magazine yesterday, I had a little time to read it today.  They report most scientists recommend going about your regular habits, but washing your hands more often and avoiding touching your face.  A lot of the precautions they had earlier were attempts to contain the virus, but that ship has sailed at this point.  It's out there.  Yes, this virus is a little worse than the flu, but you essentially take the same precautions.  There aren't recommendations for cancellations from medical experts; those general come from the lawyers.

Whitworth at Swarthmore

That's a tongue twister.

Whitworth at Swarthmore

That's a tongue twister.

Only if you pronounce them incorrectly.

I've done it after a 7 pm game from Scranton to MD and you're younger than me.  As long as u won't be battling bad weather conditions and u get your rest Thursday night. Use your head.

Yeshiva at RMC 2 pm

Nice to have an early game, and the extra hour from daylight savings time won't hurt either.
