Congrats to Big Ten Tourney Co-Champs Indiana and Minnesota
So does Minnesota get the auto-bid? 

Tie-breaker-wise with Indiana, they did defeat the higher-seeded team...

Watching this St. John's Creighton game that has no fans.  It actually isn't that big a deal - cheerleaders make a lot of noise

Not sure why they'd cancel the event when they've already restricted fan access.


I think the Rudy Gobert - Jazz event really changed things.  The whole Jazz team is more or less in quarantine, and everyone they played recently has to be looked at.  Playing it could put teams in terrible position - what if say Purdue wins but then someone for OSU tests positive.  Would MSU want to play Purdue tomorrow?

This is ridiculous. Listening to the new commissioner isn't giving me great hope that he'll fix the league's problems, either....

Was thinking the same.  Wouldn't have been that bad from a viewing standpoint

Kind of has the feel of a good high school game, hearing the individual cheers and whatnot.

Big East pulled the plug at halftime.  I think MAAC and MEAC are the only ones to not officially cancel yet, and they didn't have games until tonight anyway.

Well, the stupidity of this might finally end the idiotic practice of the ACC naming the tourney champ as the conference champ.  Big Ten already confirmed there is no reason for them to do this.

Illinois makes it for the first time in 7 years and it gets cancelled.  Can they at least have the selection show still? :'(

You should hear them AFTER the game....

I'm only surprised that it is cancelled instead of suspended.  If this blows over in six weeks or two months we could have an NCAA Tournament in May, no?
