Once a team is permitted to play Division 1 basketball, they should be automatically eligible for the tournament. NCAA - let's remember it’s about the student athletes!!

I’ve known Keith Yandle for years. I’ve seen his mouth get destroyed and go back in the game. I can’t understand why anyone would try and sabotage his iron man streak. Despicable and disappointing!
Keith Yandle's consecutive games played streak is expected to end at 866 when the Panthers defenseman likely will be scratched against the Blackhawks on Sunday.

This is the best Kentucky team I’ve watched in years. They defend, unselfish, shoot and fundamentally sound at both ends. One of my five that could cut down the nets!! Gonzaga also - the other 3 I want to see more - one is located on the East Coast and it’s not Iona 🤦♂️😰

Suggestion to the NCAA, push the start of the season back to January and only play league games. Buy some more time for a vaccine and to get things under control. Although I can’t wait to be back on the sidelines, the health of my players and staff is what’s really important.
