And after that game we wait another week to play Marquette. Is squeezing another non-conference game in there that Saturday asking too much?

 

[NJHusky]

That is aVERY aggressive Jan calendar. Doesn’t leave much time for Covid delays

I will literally take any reason at this point. Just give us something to understand this madness!

Team is going to live in the mid-west for a week (1/4 thru 1/11).

They should purchase a few hermetically sealed Winnebago's for this trip.

Why on earth are kids going home for Christmas?

Asked Neill about 12/27 still being an option

Why on earth are kids going home for Christmas?

I don’t think they are, I believe they are allowing families to come in to visit them on campus. I read an article on Villanova’s local paper yesterday where instead of having kids go home and having to quarantine coming back, they are setting up a safe environment for their families to come in, tested and everything, and makes contact tracing easier if anyone tests positive. I imagine UConn and other programs are doing something similar.

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.

Need games. Period. Play any D1 team that can, then run an internal practice/strategy session immediately after

Thanks, that makes way more sense.

It sure looked as if at least one game between now and DePaul was possible due to needing to make up games with St. John's and Georgetown, both of which have open schedules during the same time period.

Rhode Island has played twice as many games, and against teams from all over the map, so it's puzzling why we can't find a filler game to keep the team sharp.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Lol one case in January and another one in February and uconn will cancel the season. It’s ridiculous how this is being handled

More of a reason to have a game in that Dec. 26-28 window.

And bubbleville proved this could work...

St. John's and Nova postponed a game on the 30th to give their team a break. Reading between the lines of the Borges tweet, sounds like UConn tried to schedule them for the 27th and they said no.

Georgetown is also available.
