Re: Covid-19 Effect on College Basketball & Other Sports

Bigger question is why did it take so long to put the mandates in? Only 63% of US population is vaccinated.

Yes, I got to where I was watching Neal on every play the last couple minutes of the game. He was in the backfield and more than likely the efforts Albany had to put in place to help contain Neal helped enable the Blitzing of Blackett to be effective. Maybe Fleming doesn't even call the Blitz if Ne...
