The more this crap happens, the closer we get to a scenario I desperately want to avoid. Selfish, I know.
It seems that, even with good discipline, this shit is getting to people. Very discouraging.

And of course Pitino being one of the main voices that spoke up about delaying the season and tournament. With the slow pace of the immunization it doesn't look like May would have even been late enough. |

Just keep trudging through it. Personally I think if you have one case and everyone else is clean - isolate that guy and keep on playing. The high-majors are doing that. The season will be crazy but it is what it is. The goal is to get to March. For us diehards we love the regular season but it really is all about March. If the NCAA had a choice they'd rather have THIS year than LAST year. The tournament is what matters. |

Their next series would be against us in the first week of Feb...... They play Monmouth on 1/29 - 1/30 bet that gets moved back to like 2/2 and 2/3 and Siena series is 2/5 and 2/6. They might move our series a day or two back though. Don't think teams are going to get much time to practice. Not enough time. |

I just looked at the revised MAAC composite schedule. Iona has to play four Wednesdays, which means that after games against Marist on 1/30 and 1/31, the Gaels will play 3 games in 4 days twice in a row, then 5 in 10 days (including a trip to Buffalo) and then 3 in 4 days to conclude the season. Not enviable, but they get to host Siena, St. Peter’s and Monmouth.
With a home court advantage against the other upper level teams, you might think the Commissioner was an Iona grad. :-)

I guess Pitino and 3 players have Covid. Tough break for them, especially Pitino at his age. Hope things work out for them.
