Never thought I’d agree with coach K, but he’s right. Why not pause the season three months and restart in March when circumstances are likely to be much better.

At the rate we're going, it wouldn't surprise me if the national championship game was something like South Dakota State v. LSU.
RE: WBB: Duke ends Season - Lorcan - 12-27-2020
LSU lost to Pacific, so I'm not sure that they'd even make it out of the first round if they somehow got into the tournament.
RE: WBB: Duke ends Season - M T - 12-28-2020
I saw today that So. Carolina (which beat So. Dakota St. by, I think, 9) WBB game vs Ole Miss got postponed due to issues at Ole Miss.
Syracuse WBB team is on pause too.

I guess that depends on how many teams force their way through the season.

UNLV women's and men's basketball teams are postponing games.

UNLV beat LMU 94-59. Coach has them playing some good ball. If there is a traditional RPI for tournament seeding UNLV may not hurt Stanford too much.

Looks like that's because of their next scheduled opponent (SDSU), not UNLV itself.
The Mountain West has an interesting conference schedule this year. Each weekend they play the same team twice at the same venue, two days apart. Is that something special this season because of COVID? I suppose it must be.

Yes due to covid

Interesting. Is the Duke women's hoops team at that much greater risk than the men's? The other athletes and teams on campus? Yes, I know Coach K called for a suspension of activities . . . well, except for the Notre Dame game.
I initially thought the players might revisit this down the road. But now I don't think so. 3 wins over teams I've never heard of; followed by a home loss (20+) to Louisville. First year head coach. Can't help but wonder if coach would just as soon put this season on ice and regroup with her own recruits next season.
The rest of the country will likely stumble through this hoops season as the football teams did - we'll see if they get through. On the one hand, it's indoors so competitor risk of spread is higher; otoh, the Powers That Be seemed determined to have men's and women's March Madness (and vaccines should be rolling out in the first quarter - though certainly not nearly enough for any kind of immunity. Still, if you lessen the risk to the vulnerable in these communities, that is a big positive.
We'll see. Should be interesting. Good luck to all.

I guess in another story Duke asked that opponents be tested. The ACC and NCAA won’t say yes to whatever timing Duke was asking

Virginia has ended their season as well.
