Courant says cancelled
Under the modified policy, a Conference game will be canceled in the event a school has fewer than seven scholarship players and one countable coach available for a game. The BIG EAST Conference Office will attempt to reschedule any such game(s) in accordance with parameters approved by BIG EAST Directors of Athletics. In the event the rescheduling parameters cannot be fulfilled, the canceled game(s) will be designated as a no contest.
Actually I guess it's more poor reporting from the Courant... it looks like the Big East announced a new policy before Christmas:
BIG EAST Announces Change to Basketball Game Cancellation Policy
The BIG EAST Conference today announced a modification to its game cancellation policy for men’s and women’s basketball for the 2021-22 season. The adjustment was the result of the recent sudden and significant increases in the number of COVID-19 cases nationally and within BIG EAST programs due...www.bigeast.com
So that would mean it's officially canceled pending a potential rescheduled date in the future.
—> NEW YORK – The BIG EAST Conference has announced that the UConn at Xavier men's basketball game, which was scheduled for Tuesday, December 28, has been canceled due to COVID issues within the UConn program.
The positive results received by UConn included head coach Dan Hurley, who is in isolation at home.
Announcements about future UConn events will be made in the coming days. <—
Some speculation on Twitter that the conference wanted Uconn to play (I think you only need 7 active players per the new rules?) but maybe now that DH is positive he pushed for a postponement. In other words, not sure if this is an example of the conference shutting us downThis season isn't going to last if 100% vaccinated teams are forced to shut down. There needs to be drastic changes to the policies.
