ND, Wake, UNC and FSU Games Postponed / Pitt rescheduled

[Consigliere]

Matt Park reported that Joe did have a wrap on his wrist last game.

The sensors are apparently stored in a pouch in the players' shorts during games. Syracuse players definitely wear them for every gams and all ACC teams are using them now. Honestly don't understand why that is not part of the protocol non-conference teams must agree to if they want to play ACC teams.

After this disaster, it probably will be. But the OOC part of the schedule is pretty much done for everyone now. Sigh.

All good. I just wanted folks to understand why New York employers are in a different place than employers in most other states with respect to 14 v 10/7.

My current employer in NC is requiring 14 days. It's almost a case by case in my industry (manufacturing). It's crazy.

So... UNC back on?

Depends on if there's a positive within the program. No clarity on that as of yet.

Again, I feel like the standards are not clear, but wouldn't it be a positive plus exposure to others? Not just a positive?

Cuz we already had that and Buddy couldn't play, but the team suited up.

Definitely not clear. Don't know for sure. Hoping the UNC game happens. But not counting on it.
Could see us canceling GTown & playing a game in that window instead, to get another ACC game in.

Yeah, I'd also be surprised if they put a game back on that was already announced as postponed, but who knows?

A good scenario could be that the team is cleared to start practicing again even with the current schedule postponed.

I would hope we use it to get a few practices in before we play Florida St rather than use it to jump into a game against UNC with no practice.

I mean, yes, for basketball reasons you're exactly right.

For eager fan reasons that would love to just see a game though...

 

[Vorony]

Couldn’t we technically still play WF on Wednesday too? That would be 11 days from the Buffalo game. Again, assuming nobody within our program has tested positive during the pause.

eerily quiet from the university...

I mean, it is later in the day, business hours wise.

just thought we'd maybe get some kind of status update from the AD, regardless of this new NYS development, indicating a target date to return...

yup. i don't think game cardio can be maintained by x miles on the stationary bike

Anyone hoping for Wake or UNC to be back in play must enjoy pain because with just a practice or two before playing is almost guaranteed to be ugly and a L. Let's wait for the kids to get back into the flow and be ready vs greedy for a game.

North Carolina gives them plenty of time to practice if you count backwards it’s pretty simple

You mean like, in the movie Tenet how they did that?

Assuming sarcasm font here. Fully concur in that respect then.

Can’t we be ready AND greedy? Does the law of physics really have to be so particular?

I just want to see Syracuse basketball play soon. I understand it would not be ideal. And that we would likely look like we did vs. Bryant. But I will say -- Bryant is 7-2 this year. Beat UMass, who isn't great but is an A-10 school.

unc maybe but wake forest basketball is little more than a rumor right now. although they did replace syracuse on their schedule with sub-.500 division ii catawba for a new year's eve date

We all do. I selfishly want W's more than just games given what we have dealt with in recent years. Also - the 25 new threads bashing players and coaches because we lose despite having almost no practice is no fun either.
