Do we have games scheduled next week?

I thought I read in some thread that Hurley doesn’t know if he wants to proceed with those games because he wants to get more practice time in before BE games. Nothing official to go on besides Boneyard speculation, unless someone has more info.
Can coaches decide not to play games just because? I know we are in unchartered waters here, but that seems a little crazy to me.

You would think If that’s the case, the schools should give enough notice that they are not playing. I know with Covid, games could essentially get shut down just hours before tip, but If you are cancelling a game just for the heck of it, you would think those decisions should be made more than 3-4 days out simply out of respect and travel for the other team.

If those games next week were already officially cancelled or someone on here knew something about them more than what we've already been told, that they're all being played, don't you think it would be a big deal and there would be multiple threads on it here? There would be articles on it. You'll know if any of them get cancelled.
Until that happens I think people need to chill. I know these are crazy times but are we really going to have threads every day asking if games are still on when no changes have been announced? Relax.

Think its either ESPN or ESPN2 depending on if we win or not.

I think 4 games in 5 days would be a stretch....12/4 is open but I think we'll pass.

It would be a really crappy move by Hurley to cancel this week's games since there is a material chance the whole season gets shut down by the league or the state at some point. Play the games while we can get them. There is no next month or even two weeks from now when it comes to this season.

Kind of strange. l know the 2 week break messed up the preparation but I don't see how you just pull out of those games because you don't think you're ready. I don't think he wants to go into the Big East season without a game against a high major. I'm guessing they'll play.

USC, BYU & NC State are 3 good teams...Lunardi has them all as Bubble Teams so 2 of the games next week are massive upgrades in competition.
Vandy (projected last in SEC) on Tuesday hopefully a convincing win but then we'll have our hands full. I'm assuming DH will play the games but I understand his concern that we're not ready....but still have to play.

This may be unpopular, but whatever...
It's one thing to potentially not play a game due to a positive Covid test, but it's unacceptable to not play because you don't "look good." And it's a total dick move to our opponents.
Play the games. If we get spanked, then at least they'll see firsthand what good ball/coaching is.

I am pretty sure Hurley is not going to pull out of playing those games but is saying that so the players have some intensity in practice as they want to play the games.
