Welcome to 2022!!! Thought this was going to get off to a great start but apparently Omicron said “Hold my beer”.

We have 10 games scheduled, 11 if you count the TU Women, and all of these but 5 are postponed or cancelled.

TU women had their game against Cincinnati postponed due to Covid within the Bearcat program.

For the Men
East Carolina and South Florida are postponed due to Health and Safety protocols on the ECU program.
Air Force and Fresno State are postponed due to Covid related concerns with Fresno State
Gonzaga vs LMU has been postponed ddue to COVID on the Gonzaga program

Oregon State and Colorado has been postponed due to COVID related issues with Colorado. Oregon State has rescheduled the game with Sacramento State that was supposed to be played on December 28th for Jan 3.

Georgia State vs Little Rock has been Canceled due to COVID within the Georgia State program. Now here is something of note, unlike the other conferences that are postponing games in conference, the Sun Belt had modified their policy to stat that a minimum threshold of seven (7) student-athletes plus one (1) coach required to play. Since Georgia State does not have that then the game is considered a “No Contest” and the game is canceled and not to be rescheduled.

We do have a couple of good games and one starts here shortly on CBS when Memphis travels to Wichita to face the shockers in the Roundhouse.

Boise State travels to Wyoming and that is on CBSSN

Tulane tries to continue to be spoiler, traveling to Cincinnati. I am being prepared for this to be canceled. Just have a feeling, I hope it is just gas.

And 1

So I went and counted them up. Including today there have been 215 Division 1 games that have either been Canceled or Postponed. From the Start of the Season through December 17th, there were a total of 20 games that were either Postponed or Cancelled. Those numbers are Postponed 11 and Cancelled 9.

From December 18th to the end of the year (yesterday evening) there were 64 games postponed and 89 games canceled in the matter of 14 days.

Today being the first day of the year we have 42 games affected. 30 games postponed and 12 games that have been cancelled. There are still games that are postponed or canceled right now through January 6th. They are not many but could very well be more as we move along.

GO TU!!!!

Memphis coming out strong against Wichita state. Apparently they had 3 players out of the Tulane game. Maybe the Tulane win was fools gold
 
Wichita state having some questionable ball handling going on here. Going into the half, Memphis is up by 15. 49-34
 
By the way, Gregg Marshall is still available when Frank is let go. 🤣

Maybe Haywood is the reason we lost to the Smoo
It was close enough that his defense and occasional shine on offense, might have been enough to put us over the top.

Sad 😔 that everything has to go right to get a win.

Refs & Haywood shouldn't be enough to lose.

Boise state and Wyoming game was postponed 25 minutes before tipoff due to Covid-19 in the Boise State program.

now imagine being at the arena and got your beverage and snacks and then they say the game is postponed.

better yet, imagine you were @nevadanatural and you drove 8 hours to watch the game. Get in there with your snacks and drink. Get your iPad set up to track the stats and then they say the game was postponed.

I would be ticked
 
I’m still waiting to see if the Cincinnati game gets postponed. The women were postponed and the football team should have postponed their performance yesterday.
 
Cincy would not be expected to cancel a game with Tulane. Maybe with Memphis but not Tulane.
 
Can we get out of going to Memphis to play? Maybe put that game off till next season......... like they do in football.....

I am at the Skins vs Eagles game today so I am not posting my normal thing. I did just post the AAC NET Rankings. Tulane just moved up 51 spots with that win over Cincinnati. I will be back to normal posting tomorrow

Enjoy the game. I guess we can let you have one day off, but don't make a habit of it. :D

Whatever happened to teams who can't play a game due to COVID in their program forfeiting those games? Almost every conference adopted that stance and have suddenly walked it back

Most conferences changed it because of the volume of games. They now have them as postponed

I know...I'm wondering if they would have done that if it were isolated early on to lower tier programs in the conference vs teams like Duke
 
At some point I don’t see these postponed games being made up, unless March Madness occurs in May.

Which is crazy because I bet there will be an arbitrary way to decide which games get played and which ones "simply cannot be rescheduled due to the complex nature of scheduling". My guess is if a loss will hurt a team, then it won't be played. If a win will help a team, it will be played.
