Big Ten Tournament cancelled

[UpAndUnder43]

Thats all. Thats the post.

 

[Gopherfan.in.fergus]

Wow....... this stinks!

 

[AZGopher]

Probably the smart thing to do.

 

[fair]

Figured it was too good to be true with everything that's been getting shut down for the pros. I guarantee the Gophers were on their way to an auto bid and a historic run in the NCAA tournament

 

[MplsGopher]

Jebus. Well, that is that.

[Bad Gopher]

Gophers and Hoosiers co-champs?

Seems only fair

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Jebus. Well, that is that.

Pitino gets a G-D free pass because of the virus. Lucky SOB

What are you talking about? Do you think losing to Iowa today was going to seal his fate? If Coyle is fickle enough to not have a decision made and was basing it on the outcome of a postseason tournament you automatically qualify for, then Coyle isn't a good AD

We were 1-0 in the COVID-19 Championship Season.

No. It's going to be because this climate isn't appropriate for making changes and interviewing new candidates.

Everything is going to be frozen for the next few months. That's why.

Can we please not turn this thread into a Pitino-off? I don't want anyone to even respond to me. Just stop.

 

[Livingat45north]

Does that mean we're co-champions with Indiana? We're the only two teams to have a winning record in the tourney. I say we both get an automatic bid to the dance (which probably won't happen either).

 

[dex8425]

That sucks. I really wanted to see Oturu handle Garza and the gophers beat Iowa today.

 

[MplsGopher]

SEC cancels as well. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/03/12/sec-tournament-canceled/

Will be everyone now.

 

[GopherVotary]

NCAA will follow suit. Maybe The Masters?

 

[Blizzard]

They'll cancel the NCAA tournament by days end.

To be fair, a lot of power conference coaching candidates are chartered in.

Men's tennis tour just announced all events cancelled for the next 6 weeks, so probably all higher end sporting events will be gone too.

 

[USAF]

Wow....... this stinks!

I blame Pitino.

This very fact will be debated on this board for the next 20 years.

I hope outdoor events can continue without spectators.

 

[Bordergopher]

I’m going to cancel my cribbage tournament with my wife due to coronavirus concerns.

 

[fair]

I hope outdoor events can continue without spectators.

Golf is the perfect sport to keep alive through all of this. No contact, "social distancing" easily maintained, outdoors. I just hope we can keep something, though I understand there's greater problems at hand.

 

[Tredwell]

A-10, CUSA, WAC, PAC 12 cancel...meanwhile, watching Big East game on FS1 right now.

 

[Otis]

What's next? The Pro Bowlers Tour?

 

[WriterGoph]

This is total bullshit. What the heck are we supposed to do with our March now? This seems like a severe overreaction

 

[USAF]

This very fact will be debated on this board for the next 20 years.

BGA has a post already typed up and saved, ready to be copied and pasted as needed. "B1G tourney run if..." and "3 of 4 NCAA tournaments if..."

 

[GopherPharmaBiz]

I hope outdoor events can continue without spectators.

The World Cup Cross Country Ski race in Minneapolis got cancelled this morning, so I think outdoor events are on the table too

 

[Nokomis]

This very fact will be debated on this board for the next 20 years.

It's fun to self-deprecatingly joke about the Gophers. But what if you're a team like Baylor or even Penn State who's historically been bad but has a shot at a high seed this year? Must really suck to be a fan of those teams...

 

[GopherVotary]

ACC joins in the canceling.
