According to the BE, maybe only getting 18 games in or so. So now we have Nova, Uconn and Seton Hall to make up. If 2 of those 3 don't get played, we will have a much weaker BE schedule and hopefully we will have a better record against the bottom of the league. Don't see Jay Wright making up our game at Cintas. They have already missed 5 games.
On another note, I have been asking all year why they wouldn't move games up. No team should be on break for a week if they are healthy. Move games from the back end of the schedule so we would have open dates for make-ups. If X is ready to go by Fri/Sat, league should move up either our game at St John's, or Gtown at X. All 3 teams are open this weekend. Play Gtown back to back! who cares just PLAY!

We don’t know if this was one of the players, a coach, a manager, or someone else on the staff. It only takes one person having a breakdown to ruin it for the other 20-30. You’re not going to be able to put all these people into a bubble where their coming and going is controlled 24/7 for weeks upon weeks. Coaches and staff have families and outside lives. Players are still going to class. Players still have to visit the library, chow hall, labs, etc. in addition to the dorms and athletic facilities. Even if they never left campus, they still would stand a chance of accidental exposure.

If you want to just chalk it up to a case of bad luck, then all the power to you.
I happen to believe that your likelihood of catching it is directly related to your willingness to engage in risky activities. And, we are now facing the third shutdown this season. So, I'm concluding that there have been some risky activity.
Not rocket science. Just regular science.

Why throw them all under the bus? By not accusing a particular person, you accuse them all. By not saying what constitutes “risky behavior”, you leave all behavior to be judged as such. Just being a college student, or working on a college campus, is more risk than the majority of the population sees on a regular basis. My grandkids, just by attending in-person class, are more at risk than I am. Yet I wouldn’t call that “risky behavior”, or accuse them of such when their teacher contacts COVID and the school is shut down(which has happened).
