Hoiberg deciding to even leave the house tonight was a bad decision considering everything happening with coronavirus, but to go to an arena and interact with a bunch of college kids is reckless. The B1G made an announcement today that they would finish their tournament without fans starting on Thursday. What happens depends on what is wrong with Hoiberg.
