COVID Impacts Men's Basketball Prior To Niagara Tip

[Cusefan0307]

It appears just Buddy that’s out.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Buddy is the only starter not warming up.

All the asst coaches are on the court, except JB who never comes out for warmups.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Oh boy

 

[jdubs30]

I mean I guess at this point that's the only logical explanation-
apparently now it's just a free for all across the country where each team is able to do as they (or the county in which they're located?) see fit

Gonzaga just did it too

Start Kadary at the 1 and Joe at the 2. I want to see it.

 

[jdubs30]

So Kadary and JG3 in the backcourt ... AG plays backup to them. Well see a lot of Bras and Andelem/Edwards’s

 

[Cusefan0307]

Well some people are going to get their wish! Kadary Richmond 40 minutes.

 

[jdubs30]

Start Kadary at the 1 and Joe at the 2. I want to see it.

Think you have to. Griffin can play the 2... but with Sidibe out it doesn’t make sense.

either Bras or Kadary will start I’d guess ... maybe Edwards?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I am no longer able to open tweets on this site. Any chance you could give a super shorthand update???

The guess is that county health officials have approved of SU's contact-tracing efforts with "tracking devices'' worn by players. Therefore, some players are sitting out tonight while the rest are OK to play.

Griff will see some minutes

For sure - I’m talking ball handling duties though. I want to see Kadary running the offense and Joe off the ball.

I’d rather cancel the game.

No need to play these games with a player out with Covid.

 

[Briancuse]

Makes sense if Buddy has it, considering his dad had it just a couple weeks ago. Who is he closest to on the team?

He'd be the most likely to get it.

 

[UpstateSM]

And this is why the NCAA is giving everyone an extra year. Rare good decision

Bad take

 

[Alsacs]

Bad take

Why?

Again, to be abundantly clear... The University hasn’t announced which person is positive and won’t. That someone doesn’t dress tonight doesn’t mean they’re positive. That someone isn’t warming up, yet, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re among the group in question.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Not a great example if SU is playing while some team members tested positive Not a good look. There’s no way anyone is going to get through the next two weeks. It’s only going to get worse. How in the world has the football team been covid free for three months and the basketball team (coaches family) can’t get through two games?

We don't know that Buddy tested positive.

SOMEBODY tested positive, and Buddy may have been in contact with them.

That scoreboard looks awesome.

You mean like his dad?

 

[UpstateSM]

We should have went and played a handful of games at Mohegan Sun

 

[jdubs30]

Buddy didn’t test positive
