Ok. So in layman’s terms. The positive guy is out for min 10-14 days. The other guys, if not hit by contact trace, are good to go w 7 days of negatives.

How in the world do we not get contact traced to oblivion with the guy playing yesterday

So it sounds like the determination on whether we can put a team out is contact tracing and assuming no more positives. Seems like a lot things have to go right.

Is it 7 days of negative starting now, or can previous tests count?

Constant motion. I assume the clock resets. So you’d have to be within that 6 ft circle continuously, not moving in and out of it.

Well, we’re probably safe on margin among NCAA games in total, as the record margin of loss is 117 points in an amazing DII game back in 1992: 1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game - Wikipedia

We’re probably safe on the all-time NCAA tournament worst loss as well: 69 points. In 1963 Loyola-Chicago (who were national champs that year), beat Tennessee Tech 111 to 42. They were up by 42 at the half. Since we wouldn’t play Gonzaga or Baylor in the first round, a typical UVA-style pace should prevent anyone from scoring enough points to hit that margin.

It’s actually cumulative time over a 24 hour period. So 3 exposures of 5 minutes each would do it.

What I’m hearing, fwiw it’s not much, is they’re trying to find five. It’s all about contact tracing. Most are caught up in it.

I figured everyone who played “failed” contact tracing. If they can commit to having 5 who can play then they can hope no one else tests positive.

I think our best hope is to get #NCAAPUSHBACKTHETOURNEY trending on twitter. lol.

Is the contact tracing consistent for the NCAA tournament? Or is this by UVA/local government guidelines? Could Kansas not have to quarantine as many players as UVA?

157

One thing is we don’t know who the Kansas player was. The UVA player saw action yesterday, or that’s what’s been reported. The Kansas guy might be a walk on who stayed clear of half the team. It’s not necessarily apples to apples.

True, but he’d still be in the locker room, on the bus, and you’d think be generally around the other guys.

Wow this contact tracing crap is dumb. Complete overkill when people are being tested every day. If a kid tested negative every day from Wednesday until next Tuesday it’s absolute stupidity to say they can’t play in the tournament. Even if they were making out with a covid positive person yesterday it’ll be pretty clear they don’t have the virus by Tuesday (the NCAA deadline to replace a team in the bracket).

I would find it hard to believe that any team member, regardless of PT, wouldn’t blow through that 15 minute threshold though. Would be suspect for KU to play if we can’t find 5

At least if you think his sources are accurate, Norlander seems to say Kansas is in pretty much same position with player who tested positive having played yesterday:
