Legends Classic Bubble Potential Starting Date

[jkfer98]

So if this holds, our season would start in the November 25-December 4 range. Given there will be 10 days of games, you'd have to figure we will be playing some teams beyond the 3 others in the field with us (USC, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame), right?

The Empire Classic and Hall of Fame Tip-Off will be in the same bubble as us, looks like some potential opponents would be Michigan, Villanova (not gonna happen), Baylor, NC State, Albany, UCF, Lehigh, Long Island U, Marquette (not gonna happen pt. 2), Minnesota, Quinnipiac, and URI.

Any ideas which team will take their place?

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I'm not surprised. Notre Dame plays these New York games for their NYC metro alumni. The Mohegan bubble is not what they signed up for.

For a school that has not won a major men’s championship in quite some time, they have a lot of demands.

They would’ve gotten as many fans at Mohegan (0)

I agree they would have attracted fans. I'm referring to the NYC alumni events which generate donations to the school.

Would love to see a Big Ten school in their place

Ah, the numbers game.

Florida breaks coronavirus records with 80,236 new cases reported in one week; case total hits 350K

The state also broke records for the number of new deaths, people tested and hospitalizations reported in a single week. In total, 350,047 people have been infected statewide since the pandemic began.

[Hey Adrien!]

Yes please. BYU should be better than Notre Dame and their size poses a nice early season challenge for the team if we end up scheduled to play them. Childs is gone, but Haarms transferred in. Pope’s done a heck of a job at Provo.

 

[M.S.G.]

BYU would be an amazing addition... I definitely hope we end up with USC or Vandy first, as a warm up for a matchup with a potential top 10 team.

A potential top-10 team is way too high of a prediction for them, but having them make the top-25 is a fair ceiling and could be a 2nd weekend team in March.

Regardless of ranking, a well-coached team we can hopefully hop on early in the season as they have tons of turnover between this season and last.

SE CT and all of CT data has been heavily influenced by an outbreak at a Norwich nursing home a couple weeks ago. Hence why, while raw case numbers and hospitalizations increased the positive rate has stayed around 1.5, not indicating community spread. Mohegan bubble is fine.

If we play BYU they should let Jimmer and Kemba play.

Yeah wrong..... Not saying the Norwich nursing home didnt have anything to do with it. It sure did. But New London county is hurting right now. My GF teaches in Waterford. 7 covid cases at her school between last monday and Friday, needless to say her school now shut (online only) for the forseeable future. There is more going on than just Norwich. Just saying,

But I hope the Mohegan Bubble works. Ill be there if it does.

The numbers are the numbers. Someone commented on the recent spike in New London and I responded by giving them accurate data. Rather than post random states, here is a site I have found very helpful. It does give state data but the aggragate data at the top ofthe page is national. It gives a good overview of the virus. I've checked it against Hopkins and it matches pretty well. They record cases, hospitalizations, ICU, even ventilator info. The charts only go back a couple of months but it provides a good snapshot of our current situation.

[Hey Adrien!]

Mohegan Sun is its own "island" where cases in surrounding towns don't bother me as much as if they were in an actual city. All they have to do is stay in their rooms and walk to the gym to play the games. Should be no problem.

How much practice space, different gyms are available? That’s where my concerns with a Mohegan bubble would be

Good question, found this from CBS Sports:

"Mohegan Sun is secluded in the southeast part of Connecticut: it sits approximately one hour from both Providence's and Hartford's airports and has two hotel towers, approximately 1,600 rooms and more than enough social-distance-friendly meeting spaces and ballrooms for team practices."

I do too. But you won't be there if it does. Nobody will except the teams.

I heard they were discussing (very) limited capacity.

Well if they do those tickets will be highly desirable. How much you want for yours?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Sweet. Each team is a solid OOC opportunity.
