Figured this could use its own thread.

Following updated CDC guidelines, Men’s Hoops has now resumed basketball activities and will play UVA this Sunday.

I'm glad we're staying proactive, a lot is gonna change and be kinda on the fly this season

Not to seem mercenary but also fully aware of the Athletic Department’s financial predicament:

Are we still getting $$$ for this game?

Now it would be nice if we could get back the Hampton home game and the Norfolk State away game. Heck, maybe Norfolk State would agree to play in the Burg also. I think that a few more games before conference season starts would do wonders for this young team's development. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the things that I saw during the ODU game. Getting used to the speed of the game will help eliminate many of the turnovers caused by somewhat ill advised front court offensive aggressiveness, which in turn led to a bunch of points in transition which we were not in the position to defend. Even with the young team that we had on the floor, we could have won that game.

The Hampton game is back on for 12/16 I believe.

Something interesting that I saw during the ODU game that no one pointed out was the Milkereit brought the ball up a couple times. One time he turned it over but the coaches must be confident in his ball handling skills.

Could have, also, related to minimizing ODU defensive strengths in their matchups.

Welp ... Would guess this puts our freshly rescheduled game vs UVA on Sunday in serious jeopardy.

Originally, it was a home-and-home with Hampton. Our home game, scheduled for Dec 3, was affected. The Dec 16 game was initially scheduled for Dec 15, but pushed back one day post-quarantine period.

Rumors that we're scrambling for another opponent.

Easy come easy go

Mike K and other coaches now wanting season postponed or cancelled re today's newspapers as outcry over what has become a terrible season
due to virus grow. Multiple teams cancelling games now every day. Schedules are almost meaningless.

Frankly, other than the tv contract, why are they playing as the virus sweeps across the nation in horrific fashion and 3000+ people are dying every day now.?

Bubba-

They are playing because 18-22 year olds are not dying.

“The only thing that we have to fear is fear itself.”

Spare me the histrionics.
