What is the reason to postpone a bball game but continue to play football. The one infected sits out!! I don’t get it!! Hell they allowed Trevor to run the sidelines with his team when he was diagnosed

The inconsistencies are incredible. Like the coaches wearing/kind of wearing/not wearing masks. What's the rule? Is there a point being made?

I assume there is no rule and the NCAA turns the other way to avoid getting anyone upset.

This sucks!! I hate our next game is going to be against Florida State. This would have been the perfect opportunity to play Pitt, because I think they are without both of their leading scorers.

May have to play whoever is negative as long as you have seven. The season is going to be crazy anyway just like football.

I would like to see a 6 week pause in the rest of the season. I saw this idea on a face book thread . Have May madness instead of March. I doubt very seriously that it would be considered. If so it would have to be done quick.

It does look awful for coaches like Few using the mask for a chin strap.

Man it is so unreal that our world as we have known it has changed face forever. Democrat or Republican this country is so divided and opinions are as harsh as they have ever been.

I think there’s a strong chance something like this is going to happen.

Are our players still living at the Washington Duke Inn? I mean it's beautiful (or so I've heard, haven't been inside in 40 years), but the players must feel like they are living in a very small fishbowl. And on top of that, their games more often than not get cancelled.

I say, pause the season, let the players be normal people for 6 weeks, and pick it up again in March.

Either cancel the season or play the games with a 1 week bubble for anyone who test positive ...pretty simple to me

I don't think you cancel the season. It's been almost a year. Time to start living, and the kids aren't high risk anyway. It's a joke watching the coaches and players on sidelines spread out and wearing masks, while the players on the court are all over each other.
It's past time to let the kids be kids.

K saying “it doesn’t feel right” Yea, millions are being made off these kids, but at the same time I guarantee you 99% of these kids want to play, so what the hell is the deal...Players wear masks on the bench, then get put in the game without a mask breathing all over those same guys that they were sitting on the bench with then go back to the bench and put on a mask and sit beside the same guys lmao. You know what I mean. It’s a joke. But if some janitor in the other college has the virus the games postponed...What I’m saying is all this bs in inconsistent and doesn’t make sense. It’s like it’s all for show and $$$..all while the kids wanna play and in the middle of this bs.

Agreed Coach Capel was ready to let his players play. Coach K backed out. If Coach is scared or being over protective or whatever you want to call it, it is still not fair for the kids that are wanting to play. Coach should stay home and let one of the young coaches carry the torch.

Yep. Our kids are being ripped off. It's that simple to me. This isn't fair to them. At all. Those saying it's risky, are just buying this nonsense. We are at risk everyday we drive, work, fly... and spare me the spreading of it. We can't get by this by staying cooped up. Enough is enough. Let the kids be kids.

I would say let coach K sit this year out and let Scheyer get some practice. The players need to be smart and stay away from outsiders during this season

Why do people just assume the kids want to play? It’s possible they have other things like family and safety on their minds. Besides many of these players have one foot in the NBA

Coach K has forgotten more basketball than any of us know. I trust his judgement and decisions

I think it’s safe to”assume” kids want to be kids and play basketball. ESPECIALLY at a time like this when they’re in a damn bubble 24-6.
