No Duke, UNC, UK, or KU. Strange year. Surprised we only dropped 7 spots, but I guess everyone not named Baylor or Gonzaga is having up and down seasons due to the 'Rona. 

I think Duke lost again last night. This time to Notre Dame, at Duke.

Thanks for posting, looking forward to see how they pull this off.  Are conference tourneys still planned?  Personally, believe they shouldn't be held. 

Haven't heard much on the topic - as usual, will be conference-specific.  I don't think they should be held either - too much chance of something going wrong at a pivotal time.  It'll suck for those bid stealers who get hot late, but it is what it is.  

Of course, Bob Bowelsby had a lot to say on it: https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/baylor-bears/2021/02/09/while-the-big-12-marches-toward-its-conference-tournament-bob-bowlsby-knows-covid-19-will-have-the-final-say/

He doesn't think there will be opt-outs by teams comfortably in the tournament.  He apparently hasn't met Baylor.   They are going to keep that #1 seed come hell or highwater by avoiding games.  

At this point, a conference tournament has no real upside and a hell of a lot of risks that key players and coaches end up in COVID protocol and miss out on a first or second round game.
