Not. A. Surprise.
Also, different conferences having different protocols. NCAA went through this with football and they still felt no reason to step in with some guidance? Bunch of screw-ups.
Tip-Off is Nov. 28th
Pretty good non-conference schedule for SC State.

If ESPN wants to have more stringent testing then DO-IT-THEIR-WAY if you want to play.

Too many lawyer types getting in the way.

Why is Furman not on that list of opponents for SCSU?
It's there: below Liberty, and above Clemson.
It doesn't say if it's in Greenville or Orangeburg.

Anyone who says money can't buy happiness never had season tickets.
I’m sorry 
that I overlooked it.
that I overlooked it.4 weeks from tonight assuming we can find someone to play.

I’m beginning to think with the Furman campus still closed there will not be any ooc home games at Timmons. Outside chance there could be one at the Well but that is very doubtful. Conference games in Timmons are a big question mark. Students will not be there for almost half the conference games even if there are some at Timmons.

"Anonymous coaches size up the mid-majors"
Jeff Borzello spoke to mid-major coaches about their expectations for this group in 2020-21.
"I think UNCG has a little more to them [than Furman]. They're tough. They make teams one-dimensional. They're handsy, they're physical, they're athletic. They physically and athletically overwhelm most of the teams in the league. That zone press is death by 1,000 cuts. You get over the line with 22 seconds left [on the shot clock], can't run your s---. You need guys to go break them down. I think losing Jordan Lyons will hurt Furman. He was kind of their only shot-maker. Furman hasn't been the same in the [SoCon] tournament. They put you in tough situations because of the Princeton [offense], they're opportunistic in transition, but they're so 3-point-heavy. Can they do it three nights in a row?"
"The SoCon has good basketball programs that invest in men's hoops. Facility wise, salaries for coaches, charter flights. It's a hoops league. It's also programs with tradition. Almost half the league has won at least a game in the NCAA tournament. We've got coaches who understand the job they're at and play a style and recruit accordingly."

That last paragraph is interesting. Good to see that the SoCon is an official mid- major. I guess the other 15 or so conferences such as the Big South, MEAC, Summit etc are considered low-majors.DungeonRealm wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:15 amBulletin Board Material from ESPN
