So you say there's a chance...

Sports news were talking that Duke might end up in the Dance as a replacement team if a selected doesnt make it due to positive VID

Dont think the Dins could make that but if enough Teams move up to the Tourney maybe an NIT spots opens up

In that most unlikely scenario how could they take FU over WC? Only hope would be FU’s much higher net ranking. As of now FU #74, UNCG #86 and WC #111.

Ever see Dumb and dumber? Thinking its those kind of odds

In the words of Gary "Doc" Meredith, former FU golf coach "There ARE no way" that Duke should be invited to the Dog Catchers Tournament, much less the NCAA Tournament. There ARE no way.

Despite a positive COVID-19 test Duke could play in NCAA Tournament if selected, per report
The Blue Devils withdrew from the ACC Tournament on Thursday and then their AD said their season was over

Knowing coach K, Duke and the NCAA a deal was prolly struck. Get 2 wins to get to 2 wins over .500 and then opt out, that way it won’t look so bad when we select you. Problem is there have been a lot of bid stealers so thats going to make it harder for Duke to get in.

Your prolly right, but there ARE no way Duke deserves to get in.

wow! U know Coach K? Pretty nice

All undergraduate students at Duke University are under mandatory quarantine due to an outbreak of COVID. I assume this includes the basketball players too.

Speaking of the ACC, this is how to celebrate after winning a COVID shortened season.

A little tongue in cheek but just saying how the big boys control everything.

Forman the second team out of the NIT. I’m assuming they are doing replacements the same as the NCAAT, so just need two teams to get called up to play. That would be amazing all things considered. Beats waiting until November for the next game and gives Clay a chance to end his career the right way!

CBI is in Daytona Beach... Frisco Texas or Daytona Beach??? Hmmmm

[Sad Din]

Another little loop hole...

Single-bid conferences will select replacement teams that opt-out, as the NCAA wants as many conferences represented as possible (the Ivy League will not participate

If UNCG turns positive, guess 2nd choice would be Mercer. If UNCG and Mercer, VMI? That would be something if VMI ends up in the Dance

Back to the NIT:

Belmont, Furman, Marshall and UAB are among the potential replacement teams for the NIT.

Colorado St led by Niko Medved is in the NIT. This is too good and made for TV--- Dins vs Colorado St. Somehow they gotta make this happen!!

This bracket with Davey and CSU would be amazing!

Upper Left Bracket
No. 1 Colorado State vs. No. 4 Buffalo -- March 19, 7 p.m.
No. 2. Davidson vs. No. 3 NC State -- March 18, 7 p.m.

Hard to believe Belmont didn’t make the NIT at 26-4. Will FU get a bid to the CBI? I assume they would accept unless ED nixes it?
