    So they are saying that teams who made the tournament but there is a positive test, they will call in a replacement team. So the replacement team would need to test before arriving then after arriving. Negative tests before arriving, then someone tests positive after arriving, then what? Just start forfeiting games? This gonna be the most bizarre tournament situation ever.

    Maybe with enough positive tests, 2-22 Iowa State will make the trip.

    Yeah, that would lead to an uncontested game and the other team moves on. Very bizarre. How they select replacement/standby teams is another weird deal.
    I always bet a few tourney futures on regions. Not this year. Not gonna risk having a future bet lose because of a positive test

    I hope they keep this schedule. Sweet 16 being spread out on the weekend is great less time between elite 8 and final 4 as well

    Sounds like after Tuesday? There will be no replacements.
    Any team that can’t play, forfeits, their opponent moves on

    The VP of NCAA basketball said earlier this week that if a team tests positive after arriving then they will test all, and if they have 5 available healthy players, they can play.

    Nobody is forfeiting anything unless their whole team tests positive. as long as minimum of 5 players are healthy, they are allowed to play.
