UConn - Richmond officially OFF

[RayRay]

According to this at least. This is really frustrating. I hope we can find another opponent for Monday-Wednesday.

 

[Marat]

Boo.

Maybe Hurley didn't think they were ready..... but need to play someone .

More likely the health officials on UConns side didn’t allow it. I’m sure we will face a mid major

 

[Dooooooomed]

Sounds like Richmond was gonna pull a Gonzaga and play the game despite postive tests around their players. UConn/Hurley probably didn't want to risk another after-the-fact quarantine.

 

[JB75]

can we get one piece of good news today? It’s like one thing after another. Gotta play someone before Friday. Can’t wait another week.

Play a team that doesn't need to fly and go through airports before the game.

URI off until 12/12, Northeastern has been ok lately

 

[Huskybass]

We will beat Sisters of the Poor by 34 points instead and it won't mean a thing.

This team, this virus and these health officials are being very inconsiderate of my basketball-viewing needs.

 

[HobokenHusky]

Let’s get Rutty up to Storrs.

Let’s get Rutty up to Storrs.

They play Cuse on 12/8

 

[Dooooooomed]

The only decent/good team from the Northeast with availability is.... URI. They don't play again until 12/13.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They play Cuse on 12/8

Bernie Fine’s wife is spreading Covid around that team like peanut butter on toast

I have a video of me shooting in the backyard 30 years ago if you’re desperate. Unstoppable from deep unguarded, occasionally stopped when guarded by a chair. It’s a big chair.

Looks that way, maybe Northeastern in Colonial as well...off until Wed.

Get a Healthy team to play Monday or Tuesday please they need a game. Rams would be a good one!

 

[Huskyforlife]

We should've played someone Tuesday or Wednesday.

Ring ring ring Anthony Latina

At this point we just need a game as opposed to a good opponent before St. John’s. The kids need more game reps.
Pick up the phone Mr. Latina

Would Hurley play against his old team? Or is that off limits like playing Arizona State?

After tomorrow, Quinnipiac is not playing until the end of the week. Hey, it’s another local option.

Where'd you hear this?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

There's a Borges article where he suggests URI (not playing again til 12/13) and UMass (hasn't played a game yet, but has a game on Wednesday @ LaSalle).

Would be happy with either.

 

[Kitaman]

In times of desperation I say, UMess anyone?

 

[CL82]

According to this at least. This is really frustrating. I hope we can find another opponent for Monday-Wednesday.

 

[navery12]

Where'd you hear this?

Richmond was available because they canceled their games on Wednesday and today after a positive test. Puts Monday around 5-6 days so right in the gray area of the shortened quarantine recommendation

 

[WrenchFan69]

QU or New Hampshire (playing at QU tomorrow) make the most sense to me assuming UMass doesn't want us for their first game and Hurley doesn't want to play URI. Just give me something

Basketball needs to have similar protocols to football. Applying one set of standards for football, but a different one for basketball is ridiculous and dangerous. College football is copying the European soccer league standards regarding COVID. Basketball needs to follow immediately or there cannot be a basketball season like this.

You cannot allow selfish behavior to run rampant in one sport, but encourage complete complicity and sacrifice in another.

The NCAA wants to have college basketball, but teams are encouraged and allowed to cancel games anytime due to 1 positive test. Its chaotic, stupid, and politically motivated and makes no sense to allow this type of behavior.

PS: Mark Emmert the definition of hypocrisy and corruption at its finest

You're aware there's a big difference between a 100-person football team who primarily practices outside and in groups that often never interact with one another and a 13-person basketball team who practices indoors and all as one group?

 

[Austin316]

Bryant isn’t Richmond but I’ll take any game we can get at this point. Guys just need to play!

The bulldogs played well against Cuse, UNH, and D3 RIC.... wouldn’t take them too lightly but expect a W if given the chance
