Officially canceled. Womp, womp.

Again. Didn't I just say that? Doesn't anyone read my posts or am I invisible?

 

[Ozimoto]

If it is unsafe, please stay home. There have been too many tragic accidents with teams travelling over the years.

It's officially cancelled per UConn website and social media.

Did somebody just post a message? What was it? Oh, never mind.

Game Cancelled per UCONN WBB web page.
Sunday will be a battle of the boards! Our "Bigs" vs
U of T "bigs"; with Christyn, AZZI, Caroline, and "E" getting
in the groove from 3 point land!. GO HUSKIES!

I stand corrected...we did make up the missed DePaul game thanks to South Carolina
requesting cancellation of our game with them.

Our regular season schedule though remains at 26 games...unless we can make up 'Nova or
Marquette or G'Town...assuming we don't lose any more of the upcoming games.

There are many snarky retorts on the tips of my fingers, however...

I'll just say that I didn't see it before I posted Alexa's tweet.

Wait! Do you hear something? I could have sworn I heard someone say the game is cancelled. Must be my imagination.

Sorry - but I am invisible in my real life as well and sometimes it pushes me to speak out.

 

[Conndog]

Didn't the subject come up before that UConn needs a minimum number of games to qualify for the tournament? Is there a danger we won't have enough games?

 

[Carnac]

The game has officially been canceled per The UConn Blog on Twitter.

You should post this in the lobby.

 

[GoUconn7961]

I posted a thread earlier about this, and what to do with your tickets.

I hate that for you.

However, I don't know how you've survived 10 years around here if duplicate posts get under you skin.

I hate that for you.

However, I don't know how you've survived nearly 10 years around here if duplicate posts get under you skin.

I don't post that much, that's how. LOL

The minimum number of games required is 25. However, the NCAA is free to reduce that number

Assume they don't come.

As of now we have missed Marquette/G'Town/'Nova/DePaul/Butler.

Assume we do not make up any of them. If we play the rest of the upcoming schedule we will have 26 games.
NCAA wants...as of now...at least 25. Will they count conference tourney games? We would probably play 3....no guarantees.

Possible make -up dates for us? Large gap between game on Feb. 13 and 18. Another between Feb. 20 and 25.
Problem might be that the other 5 teams might not have a similar gap. Hope we try to arrange getting one or two make-up games in...preferably DePaul because they are legit.

Yeah, they require 25 games but are free to change it.:

NCAA could alter basketball postseason eligibility rules if COVID cancellations continue

NCAA Tournament rules stipulate that a team must play 25 games to be eligible, but that could change if COVID outbreaks continue to cancel games.

theathletic.com

Still don't know if BE tournament games count.

Anyway, I think they would alter the requirement if UConn fell short. I doubt that they would want to rule such a marquee program ineligible through no fault of their own.

Well, there goes my "Game Day" thread. I was just about to start putting it together. Oh well. Tennessee is up next on Sunday.

Didn't the subject come up before that UConn needs a minimum number of games to qualify for the tournament? Is there a danger we won't have enough games?

UCONN has played 18 games so far this season. The team needs 25 games to qualify for the NCAA tournament. There are 8 regular season games remaining on the schedule + the BE Tournament ~3-4 more games.
Bottom line is UCONN can qualify for the tournament by only playing the remaining regular season games.

Damn and damn.

Double damn.

I thought you were referring VolNation and Boneyard.

Waiting for the hail, pestilence and locusts. That's ok, keep Butler players safe and have UConn come up with a great game plan for UT.

 

[pacific 44]

Gabriel and Deberry must feel snakebit. This was probably the one game where they expected to see a fair amount of on court time compared to the per usual.
