France is closing all restaurants, cafes, cinemas and bars, and the US is considering domestic travel bans to certain of the country which have been hard hit by Covid 19. It's only going to worse before it gets better.

This Covid 19 crisis has turned everything upside down. I'm wondering how this thing is going to affect our current recruiting also: travel restrictions for coaches, potential recruits not being able to make visits, current players in some sports not knowing how the NCAA cancellations are going to affect their remaining eligibility etc.

Yes, Mike, my mistake. They said "suspended indefinitely" not cancelled.

March Madness has been cancelled. UCD has canceled all winter and spring sports. SF is closing all public schools.

Damn...but it has to be done to try and control this thing...I feel sorry for all the athletes and coaches that have worked so hard and, for some athletes, they have already played their last game in an Aggie uniform...heartbreaking news...

Dr Fauci, the Head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, testified yesterday that he expects 150 million people or approximately 45% of the population will eventually get Covid 19. That's a staggering number and it could go higher.

All of these measures seem drastic but they are trying desperately to slow the inevitable spread so that our medical facilities and caregivers do not become overwhelmed and then people who need care are not able to get it. Remember that the health care workers are at high risk themselves because of their high levels of exposure. The spread of a disease in a pandemic looks like a bell curve and, once it gets going, it really takes off.

We don't know if the virus is seasonal. It's possible it could go on for long time infecting more and more people. There is no current vaccine like there is for the normal, seasonal flu. We don't know how this virus may adapt and evolve even further with time. There are concerns about how it may spread rampantly among the homeless and people without health care insurance who generally don't get medical attention until they are very sick and have infected many others. The virus also has a high death rate among the elderly (60+) and people with underlying medical conditions.

We're already seeing the disastrous effect on commerce, the stock market, the airlines, the travel industry and, particularly. small businesses and more. The adverse trickle down effect on the local and world economies will likely get worse as more and more people heed the advice to "stay home." More products will become more difficult to obtain as people become more fearful and panic buying spreads and people hoard foods and personal hygiene essentials. Look what has already happened with the M95 masks, hand sanitizer and even toilet paper now.

Hopefully, we'll see things taper off sooner rather than later, but disease experts from around the world are all telling us that these drastic measures to slow the spread of the virus are necessary because there is so much we don't know yet about this virus except that it is spreading very rapidly.

The NBA suspends the season.

Wow...Although we beat them twice this year we barely beat them on the road 42-36 and struggled against them at home 71-58. I would guess that this will be a tough game for the Aggies.

No spectators at March Madness this year. Wow...

Les recruited him but lost out to St Mary's.

Wow...that's going to be really strange. It will be like a pre-season, scheduled scrimmage and I think it will definitely alter the game.

I also wonder if ESPN will continue to air the games as scheduled. I hope they do but it's going to be really weird.

Outstanding! He reminds of Neufeld but looks to be a bit more mobile. It even looks like he might be a lefty but he shoots well with both hands. He has that short hook shot like Neufeld has too.

That's pretty shabby!

We'll need all the help we can get....

This was one for the ages...can we do it again...

We can get hot offensively but we can also go ice cold like we did to start the game at Riverside when we went something like 1-14 to start the game. We had scored 2 points 7 minutes into the game. No one could buy a basket even with good looks and we were throwing up awkward shots and 3 balls that didn't even touch the iron. We've been slumping the last 3 games: collapsing in the final 4 minutes in 2 of them and digging a 20 point second half deficit in the last one. We'll be hungry against Hawaii but we'll need a quick turnaround to our best form or we'll be one and done and have another mediocre season in the books.

I sure hope she stays here for the long run.

We're overdue with Hawaii...

There are some very scary bugs out there that have nothing effective to fight them with. My son is an epidemiologist/biostatistician who worked for a while with a company that was mapping emerging diseases due to climate change in the world and then advising governments and companies about the risks they presented. Unfortunately, I think the coronavirus is probably the tip of the iceberg of what we may see in the near future.
