Just when I was getting excited for the return of college hoops

Damnit - college hoops is going to be screwed up for a 2nd straight year

I feel like I got punched in the gut - favorite sport with college football

Ivy League Statement:

'With the health & wellbeing of student-athletes & the greater campus community in mind, The Ivy League Presidents decide to forego athletics competition in fall & winter sports, postpone competition in spring sports through February 2021.'

I can respect that - the health and well-being of our communities come first - just saddened by the loss of my favorite sport

Not a huge loss.

I love the atmosphere of The Palestra - watching Penn play

Always found it intriguing too - when March Madness rolled around watching the Ivy League's automatic bid take on a powerhouse in the 1st Round

Was it Princeton who was a #15 seed to pushed a #2 seed Georgetown to the limit years ago?

Watching a small school knock off a powerhouse is always thrilling to me
