Positives for not playing over the 10-day holiday break:
-More rest/reps for Polly and akok
-more much needed practice time
-less chance contracting covid from travel/another team
Negatives:
-We’ve only played 4 games so far this year and I don’t think we’re in a position to give up 10 days on the calendar right now
-Yes ,January is jam packed with big East basketball for us but does anyone really believe none of those games are going to get canceled because of Covid ?big risk
-Creighton loss sticks with us for another week
-Our guys could use all the in-game experience possible ,especially with us trying to blend in our younger guys(sanogo, Ajax)considering gaffney and Adams have regressed so far.
-I find it extremely hard to believe we can’t find one D1 school to play in these 10 days off , there’s probably 30 to 40 in a 3- hour radius from here.
-God forbid the unthinkable happens , (which is actually probably a 50-50 shot ) and DePaul or us have to cancel next weeks game due to Covid , we wont play again until January 5th!!!! And no room really fir make ups
-Not that UConn really owes us any answers (even though some of us do pay a good amount to the university via tickets and donations )but why won’t they just come out and say why they won’t schedule a game during this period? please don’t tell me they couldn’t find a game -we’re all not that stupid. OK I’m off my soapbox see you guys on December 30th (hopefully) and Maybe we sneak in a dumb game against Springfield College or some thing on Saturday.
