Women’s Basketball to Discontinue Remainder of 2020-21 Season - http://go.uvm.edu/wbjan24

“Our administration made the decision that the game needs to be played.

'They know how I feel about it. Once that decision is made, my job is to get these guys ready. We spent the last two days trying to teach five guys our basic defense and offense so we can play Florida State on Tuesday night.'

Boston College is 3-10 on the season and just 1-6 in conference play. Tipoff for Tuesday’s game is set for 9 p.m. ET."

I think that it's probably fair to say there will be a new head coach at BC next season.

Why is the Mason men's volleyball team playing with masks, but the women's team is not?

As I said previously, Schmidt would be a great hire by BC. A BC alum who can coach toe-to-toe with anyone in the ACC. New England is also rich in prep talent to get good quickly.

I don't know though - he could have left Olean a while ago. Maybe he likes where he is at.

This is my nomination for the dumbest tweet by a sportswriter:

@RTDjohnoconnor

SLU-UR PPD: Hypothetically, you play for UR, have friend who tested positive, you are close contact, separated from Spiders, not going to be at UR-SLU Friday game. That may satisfy state, A-10 UR policies, but not SLU, coming off month COVID pause and desperate to avoid another.

He seems to be explaining a scenario where one team seems ready to play and another team postpones shortly before the game is to start because they have a different set of rules they are following. That appears to be what happened in this case.

What am I missing?

gotta follow the last 3 days on Twitter. This writer and the AD for Richmond have come off as complete idiots. They were calling for St Louis to forfeit the game publicly until Richmond got put on pause yesterday. It was a ridiculous fiasco that originally looked bad on St Louis part, until Richmond's positive tests, which made Richmond look terrible.

And the reporter in question is a Richmond alum, which makes the whole thing even sketchier

Wow! That is very interesting. It makes me curious about a couple things:

• I wonder how St Louis knew about Richmond's test results (lucky for them that they did, though). Did Richmond tell them about it and say it was not an issue?
• How did Richmond think they were going to keep the lid on this. They had to know it was going to come out eventually
• Is it possible that Richmond was trying to intentionally make St. Louis shutdown again so they couldn't play more games by tricking them in to playing?

I think richmond disclosed the possibility of a contact of Covid. Don’t think a player was positive at that time. But I don’t know.

Game postponed due to COVID protocol from Florida State....still can't believe BC's administration was trying to force this game to happen.

Man I’d love if we had some students who would get this opportunity and be loud. The silent pat dome really gives some prime opportunities for heckling for drunk college kids.

 

[GMUgemini]

UMass on 14 day COVID pause a day after playing URI. URI also now on COvID watch.

Does that make it 7 A-10 programs currently on hold now?

Breaking: Ivy League presidents will allow current senior athletes to participate in athletics as full-time grad students at their current university next year in a break with League policies. The change is a result of Covid-19, which canceled a full year of sports. Story to come
