Duke and Kansas not playing in NCAA tournament.

That's a wrap. So Illinois for this to happen this year.

This is somehow more Illinois than getting a 5-seed and losing to Western Kentucky in the 1st round.

I was really looking forward to seeing what these guys could do in the tournament. Oh well, I understand. When you read the horror stories of what’s happening in Italy, it’s probably for the best.

The one year we are actually relevant again and a fucking virus wipes out the tournament.

We. Are. Cursed.

But yeah, this was the best course of action unfortunately. Now it’s time for our healthcare system to kick some Coronavirus ass and send it back to China.

You'd think they would have found someway to do it: without fans, move the locations. Some lawyers and accountants must have figured out that the legal/monetary cost of infection if it happened was more than money lost by not having it. 
Or maybe they actually care about their student-athletes.   HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH..

Even even the magical borders of Disneyland, where no one has ever died, can't stop the CV.

On the bright side, maybe Ayo comes back for more #unfinishedbusiness?

At least we ended the season beating iowa.  I can savor that until next season I reckon. 

And hopefully Garza is gone so they can go back to sucking.

It sucks, but probably the right course of action.  With pretty much everything getting cancelled, we might be able to slow the spread.  Italy tried the incremental approach and failed miserably.
