No Fans at NCAA Tournament

The most Northwestern thing possible would have been for this to have happened three years ago - so we dodged that one.
Don'tcha think it could have the effect of neutralizing officiating...not to mention home court/regional advantage
Collins wouldn't have had to run out onto the court to get the official's attention in an empty arena.
[Sets aside all health-related things for a second]
Yes, the effect on the games themselves - and wagering - will be interesting.
They should let each team have one fan in. Each would sit on opposite sides of the court so they can't cough on each other.
Idea for Northwestern band at the Big Ten tourney do the cheer "Hey (opponent), coronavirus cough (cough) coronovirus cough (cough)...." and watch the opposing team and fans scatter.

Some what on that subject, why are they allowing fans at the Conference Tournament?
I mean, can't they give fans the option to sign a waiver saying:
"Yes, I understand there is a risk of catching COVID-19 wherever a crowd gathers, but I choose to take the risk and attend this event."
"Yes, I understand there is a risk of catching COVID-19 wherever a crowd gathers, but I choose to take the risk and attend this event."
Such people are not assuming a risk only for themselves, but for those with whom they subsequently come into contact.
If everyone acts normal, yes. As the experts say, "flattening the curve" can greatly reduce the chances of the health care system being overwhelmed.
Put 'em in a fitness center with three games going simultaneously and students running a portable scoreboard. Bang this out in two days.
Btw Fred Hoiberg was obviously ill and left the court during Nebraska's game tonight. Was taken to the hospital. No idea what he has, but the odds are strongly against him being able to be tested for COVID-19 if that is what is suspected.
and do the wave like Major League
Funny re poster above, the very first thing I thought of was Allstate Arena
He has a history of heart surgeries due to a heart condition. Hopefully it’s not COVID-19 as he would be in the “comprised health” category of those most susceptible to dying of the disease, along with the elderly.
If it is due to the coronavirus, I imagine the rest of the BTT will be cancelled. Perhaps March Madness will be suspended similar to the NBA?
