Marquette Game Cancelled

[jpp13]

Baylor had their 12/29 game cancelled, hopefully the two schedule each other.

The more games UConn can reschedule for the end of February the better.

Assuming the Marquette game gets rescheduled (not a sure thing by any means), would adding a Baylor game push us over the max number of games this season?

Thats a good point, my initial reaction was it not getting rescheduled.

I agree

This is a 'Catch 22'! It's true to a point what you say, from a win / Loss standpoint, but THESE GIRLS NEED to PLAY GAMES! They will not get better practicing.

I think TPTB would make a bigger effort to reschedule a conference game than a non conference one.

At this point I just hope that we get all of our own players back from the holiday break, with no one needing to be put into the health & safety protocols. We really can't afford to lose another body.

Lol

Cancel all the practices!

Maybe some enterprising BE team with scheduling room will want to face us before our walking wounded come back and get integrated into the team

I think last year, SH moved up to fill a scheduling hole?

 

[SECbbfan24]

I hope Baylor and UCONN play instead

No real upside to this IMHO. The team does need to practice with all the injured players out so they can get better at doing what they need to do, but playing games really puts it to the test. Marquette would be a much easier game to see where we are at before the DePaul game, which comes immediately after.

I think this game, being a conference game, would be rescheduled if humanly possible, even if it means playing back to back games for one of the teams. Marquette has to play Providence at Providence at some point. They can bus over to the XL the next day. (Or St. John, or Seton Hall)

 

[LoboDays]

Lol

Cancel all the practices!

I agree. They seem to be confusing the hell out of the players.

The next Prognosticators Predictions page will be posted on 12/28.

Why not Lsu

Good question, @hoopsdiva.

why? ....no need to push for another tough game until the team is at greater strength......

 

[LCConnFan]

Lol

Cancel all the practices!

Lol. And do what?

[Vowelguy]

You said the players weren’t going to get better by practicing. The natural follow up to that statement is that practices are not needed.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Why not Lsu

LSU travels to play Georgia on Thursday so don't think its possible for us

Just saw they scheduled to play north Texas.

It's only one game canceled (and I'm sure they'll try to make it up if they can) and the next scheduled game vs DePaul is only two days later (12/31). IMO the cons of risking another injury outweigh the pros of playing an unnecessary game. Just keep practicing and get ready for the next game on the schedule.

If non-conference games get cancelled or BE games get cancelled without being made up then they can worry about trying to get more games in. Right now the priority should be getting/keeping everyone healthy. Plenty of games left on the schedule.

Games off for No. 11 UConn, No. 22 Kentucky

No. 11 UConn won't play Marquette on Wednesday, and No. 22 Kentucky won't visit Auburn on Thursday. Both games have been postponed due to COVID issues.

Bummer for the players and the fans, but our next game is 2 days later. You get an additional practice or two, and hope one of our injured players is ready to go after the long layoff.
