Games of Interest (1.16.21) 2020-2021 B-Ball Season Episode V: COVID Strikes Back edition

[loca2874]

Here we go with the weirdest change of games in the recent weeks.

Temple was scheduled to play at East Carolina today, but there is COVID cases on the Pirates program so that has paused activities.
Tulane was schedule to play at Cincinnati today, but there is COVID cases on the Bearcats Program. This has been rescheduled for February 26.

Tulane was supposed to play at Temple on January 6 but that was postponed because of COVID on the Owls program. So that left both Temple and Tulane without a game today so they decided to lay the game from January 6th Today.

So in the American with 4 teams we have 3 postponements, 2 reschedulings and a played game. SMH COVID

TCU at West Virginia has been postponed because West Virginia does not have enough players due to the COVID 19 threshold in the BIG 12.

[I.I.]

A South Carolina win would be really huge.

Luckily the first of the three teams on covid delay is E Carolina. They will have maybe 17 or 18 days to test free, before we're scheduled to play them.(Just an educated guess.)

Temple up by 10 with 1 min left

 

[loca2874]

Temple wins 65-57 on the road at Tulane

 

[loca2874]

my god Alabama smoked Arkansas 90-59

 

[loca2874]

ORU over Denver by 9
Louisiana over UT Arlington by 17

Mixed bag results. Bet Temple gets a decent little rise. More games, on the road, solid numbers. Tulane's offensive struggles may have them dropping more than they probably deserve.

 

[loca2874]

South Carolina is giving LSU a game. It would be huge if they beat LSU

 

[loca2874]

South Carolina up by 4 at half

 

[loca2874]

South Carolina almost pulled it out

 

[Gmoney4WW]

my god Alabama smoked Arkansas 90-59

Lots of top 25 upsets today.

Michigan, Creighton, Illinois, Louisville, and man oh man Clemson.

Virginia just made Clemson look like the shirley temple rebounders against an NBA all star offense. 85-50
