Other than games in the Diamond Head Classic being played in Honolulu, there are no games on the agenda for the next three days. And so my friends relax, stay safe and all best wishes for a very Merry Christmas!! I would be happy to never again see or hear the words DIAMOND HEAD CLASSIC. I still ha...

I'm not saying they will say it is their goal, they actually do think they will play NBA and/or Professionally overseas. I actually thought the same thing myself in high school but I was way off.

Look at South Africa's data right now. Their cases are almost entirely omicron and their cases have been declining very fast over the last few days. Cases grew very fast and are now falling off very fast. Every single report I've heard out of South Africa is that omicron is far less severe than del...

Hate to break this romantic view but 95% of D1 players dream of playing professionally, and NBA being top of that list. Not many are pining for conference championships. They want to make a lot of money playing basketball. Full stop. The G League is a legitimate and accessible means to an end. Real...

Rhode Island on Tuesday set a record with 1,619 new cases of COVID-19, according to revised statistics published Thursday by the Department of Health.

The previous high of 1,607 cases was set on Dec. 3, 2020.

How do those work? Is there a G league base and when he is on the NBA roster he gets paid pro-rated NBA minimum?

This has been stated ad nauseum, but when new scientific data emerges (i.e. in early 2020 when no one knew anything about this virus vs 8 months into the pandemic) guidance evolves with it.

New York City - highly vaccinated………..

NYC Covid hospitalizations increasing steadily and dramatically since Thanksgiving.

Today at press conference “we were surprised by Omicron”.

Not near enough testing capacity available.

ramster

I wonder how much it would cost for a no fans contest. Refs, some support staff, radio and tv, and whatever else. I think a road game would include one overnight stay at a hotel. This is not like high school where they let you out of last class for a long bus ride. A lot still rides on the outcome ...

ramster

I agree. If no fans then cancel.

ramster

Exactly. I mentioned earlier I’m surprised we went to cancellations before going to no fans in attendance.

I’d bet no fans in attendance is on the table.

Georgetown just cancelled their game against PC tomorrow because of Covid outbreak. According to reports Georgetown forfeits the game, which goes down as a win for the mental asylum. Does this mean Covid cancellations count as a loss only if it's a conference game? Yes. Big East rules. Not Atlantic...

It's a blessing and a curse that he's on GSW. Blessing is, obviously, that he gets to watch and learn from the greatest point guard currently in the game. Downside is there's not a lot of playing time for him there. I don't follow the NBA as closely as I used to but I imagine that if he was on a te...

Well obviously the URI Ticket office did.
Salespeople are going to salespeople. They knew they weren’t playing this game on Sunday. Maybe before that.

Absolutely incorrect!!!!!!!!

Decision was made today.

My guess is the way Bonaventure is playing they won’t make the dance. VCU, Dayton, Richmond, Saint Louis, Davidson and yes URI all have legit shots at winning the A10 Auto Bid in DC

Interesting how we went an entire season without fans but now we are canceling games but skipping the possibility of no fans in attendance.

ramster

I guess there is a possibility they can add up to 2 games at some point later this season, if scheduling allows it. If games continue to get canceled, maybe teams will be looking for replacements. Makes sense to play games. Is in advance if A10 to prepare but once the A10 starts then there is not m...

Why is there no talk of pop up hospitals now? We had the convention center and others then shut them down. Shouldn’t we go back to that previous plan? Sounds like it’s only going to get worse.

A serious question that I don't know the answer to: if EA and Malik are out and all other players continue to clear protocols, does the Brown game happen with the two positive players sidelined?
