NCAA just announced that they're pausing the live season, skipping pods and moving to an all virtual format.

I still have that game, and I maintain that I was undefeated against anyone who showed up to my dorm to play against me in college.

So much like your favorite program you never played on the road?

Haha. It was my game though! We usually played on one of my suitemates’ PS2’s though, rather than mine as their room was our de facto living room number 2 for some reason.

Wow that's tough. I was hoping they could keep it to confined to either William or Mary instead of having both affected.

Interesting that Boeheim said a positive player practiced for two days before they knew he was positive and not one other player picked it up.

ok, see here's where I'm confused-
(and maybe it's just dumbazz rothstein) the way this is worded is that CU would be playing if they only had 1 or 2 guys out w covid - I thought all programs had to shut down for 2 wks if there was a single positive test? does it vary by conf? if so, effff that

After consultation with Colorado, the Pac-12 Conference announced the game involving Colorado at Arizona scheduled for Wednesday, December 2 has been postponed. This decision was made under the Pac-12's basketball policy - Colorado does not have the minimum number of scholarship student-athletes available for the game due to previously reported COVID-19 issues within the program and associated contact tracing protocols. The Conference will work with both programs to attempt to find a mutually agreeable date to reschedule the contest.


This was the point Boeheim was trying to make the other day.

Every conference seemingly has their own rules. ACC makes you shut down the whole program for 1 positive test. PAC12 says you can still operate if you have enough players.

It isn't bad enough to have to deal with Covid, then the year your program participates in the Maui Invitational, they hold it in Asheville, NC.
