Granted, I haven't seen all of the teams play so far, but there are very few players in the league this year that can take over a game. Lewis maybe was one and he's out. You mention Charleston as having a big layoff. Delaware didn't play a single game in February. I expect a sloppy mess this weekend.

Final seeding will be based on the teams available to play before start of the tournament per the MBB call last night hosted by Dane. Currently we are planning to play UNCW as the 7-10 game but this could change.

So if CoC is unable to play due to Covid BEFORE the tournament starts then everybody below them moves up a seed and the only play in game is the 8-9 game. If two teams are ruled out due to Covid then no games on Saturday.

No deadline given of when the final seeding is settled but one would assume it is Thursday or Friday am.

Once final seeding is set, if a team then has a Covid pause it will be forfeit their game.
