Kansas basketball: How the Coronavirus could impact the Jayhawks

Whether you think the worry level of Coronavirus is appropriate or not, there’s no denying that it could very well impact this year’s NCAA Tournament and by extension Kansas basketball. Many individual conferences have already taken measures to be extremely safe, while others have completely canceled their conference tournaments.

This morning, the Ivy League totally canceled both men’s and women’s conference tournaments. The regular-season champions, the men’s Yale team, and women’s Princeton team will receive auto-bids to the NCAA Tournament.

The Big 12 has also taken steps to help prevent the spread of the virus; however not as extreme as the Ivy League’s cancellation.
