I have a feeling the MB Invitational will be completely canceled. At this point, I just hope we play a SoCon schedule, in front of fans. It is concerning that Furman still has not opened the campus to the general public. That could mean no fans at Timmons. Has JD mentioned anything about playing our home games at The Well?

If it’s too dangerous for people to sit in half empty outdoor stadiums, how could it be safe for any number of people sit in an indoor arena? The numbers in SC are so low now that with the incentives for diagnosing Covid and the high incidence of honest false positive tests, it may not be possible for them go much lower unless the virus just disappears. And it’s still too dangerous to sit outside unless you are at a high school game where it’s safe. I just hope HS arenas are also safe because we just built a new one and our girls are going for an SC4A five-peat.

All kidding aside I think the news people will start losing interest in the virus in mid November. They’ll be back on climate change by December, and the coast will be clear for college hoops to proceed pretty normally. Fauci et al will still be running to any mike they can find to warn us, but their every utterance won’t be reported anymore. They will have served their purpose.

In the latest podcast, Coach Richey says the Louisville game is off the table. Evidently, several December games are gone too. Coach says it's a struggle to get to a 27 game schedule. Still no word from the pathetic SoCon. We need to get out of that sorry conference. I will say it again, I remain skeptical of watching any games at Timmons. Hope I'm wrong.

Did I hear him say that St. Bonaventure was a home game? Here we are less than 8 weeks from tip-off and the SoCon is giving no info. Why can’t they just come out and say, we are planning on playing an 18 game conference schedule in January and a February. How hard would that be? Don’t have to put out a schedule but just let everyone know so they can schedule accordingly. With the Orlando tourney being 3 games that only leaves 6 ooc games to schedule. CBR said he is still hopeful for the Cincy and Alabama games. I was not a big fan of Imamoron but this new commissioner seems to be just as bad as far as communication goes. SoCon needs to get its act together. C’mon man it’s not that hard.
