I guess i'd be curious what the protocols are for basketball- what time did they get to ames, were they tested before they left or were they given tests here and cancelled once they got results?

Things are going to get worse with cancellations. It will be really interesting to see how this season shakes out. Some teams may play around 30 games. Some half that.
I don’t want Covid to get any worse, but I would laugh inside a little if Iowa has this loaded team this year and they cancel the tournament again lol
Not sure what the rules are this year, but in normal years the visiting team is required to arrive 1 day prior to the game.
For basketball or just football? Was thinking several times that the basketball team left the day of for close games.
I feel like that close to tip has to be a forfeit, not cancellation.
basketball too. Usually the away basketball teams arrive 7ish the night before bb games.
I feel stood up and all I had to do was move from my office to living room -wtf.
Was DePaul even in town? Did they go get wild at Sips last night?

I don't know. Maybe they thought they were good to go, and got some results back saying otherwise around 4? I wouldn't want to punish a team for doing the right thing.
I think the CoVid test results generally take a couple of days, 2-3? based on what we were seeing with football this year.
Here is an article from 9/20: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/coronavirus-covid-19-test-results-how-long#what-to-know, which suggests 3-5 days for test results.
Further a quicker, but less reliable POC test, for patients in hospital: "If someone is in the hospital with suspected COVID-19, doctors will ask for a point of care (POC) test, which can deliver results within minutes. However, POC testing for COVID-19 may not detect all active infections and can deliver false negatives, making the results unreliable."
Testing is continuing to get better and faster I think. Not sure exactly how various athletic teams are tested.

Agreed, I just think somehow they'll figure out how to do some sort of tournament even if it's pushed back a month or two. If the season is in fact canceled with no postseason, do they just add another year of eligibility to everyone? By the time Garza is done, he'll be 25.
I would think football would be way harder to reschedule/prep for than basketball.
