You guys think there is any chance the NCAA opens up the arenas more for the Sweet 16 and beyond?

Other places - across the country, not just specific regions - seems to be allowing 25-50% capacity. I wonder if the NCAA will up theirs at all in 2-3 weeks if things keep getting better and vaccines keep rising?

Would also depend on what Indiana and Marion County says wouldn't it?

Interesting that Kentucky hit 11 threes (over 40%), only had 5 turnovers and lost.

We will need to bring it tomorrow. No slow start.

Should do what the Rangers are doing. Have 100% capacity but Have 1 or 2 sections available for social distancing for those who aren’t comfortable yet

It feels like you could still socially distance with 40% capacity. I went to 2 football games and Id argue that the closest people to us were over 12 feet away. If people are distanced in their seats and wearing masks, then how is it different than a couple of thousand people disbursed in a bunch of restaurants? Its not like you'd be using the same bathroom and concessions as everyone in the arena.

This Izzo reaction (nonreaction?) is hilarious.

Agree - I do think that the inside events will probably be behind in terms of filling back up quickly compared to the outside events.

Vanderbilt getting hot enough to beat Florida today and Tennessee tomorrow isn't too much to ask, is it?

Honest to goodness it would not surprise me (I mean, it would surprise me, but it wouldn't SHOCK me). They absolutely could have beaten Tennessee in Nashville a few weeks ago if Pippen had played.

Florida and Tennessee are very capable of putting up total clunker offensive games and losing to them.

This person that you can occasionally hear screaming out stuff in the Vandy/Florida game, sounds just like Michael Jackson.

Welp, Vandy only scoring 22 points isn't going to beat Florida or Tennessee
