Against Furman

[Gallipoli]

Until we hear otherwise, I would expect the Furman game to be on. Furman has 2 players, Botheell and Mounce, who are very strong. They have balanced scoring and strong bench support. Furman is facing challenging games, UR, Cincinnati and Alabama.

As of now, it looks like the game is on. The game shows up on Furman's schedule and UR's schedule. It also appears on the SOCON schedule.

By the way, I was not referenced Mark Fuhrman in the OP.

Until we hear otherwise, ...Fuhrman has 2 players...

If Furman has only two players, I like our odds at a win. Also, it's less likely that Furman will disrupt the game with a positive test, as there are only two players who could test positive.

Who are the staff members not doing their job? Mooney told Van Pelt they were all "being good" but maybe he was just covering for them?

How many people are traveling with the team. Coaches, players, a manger or two, maybe the team doctor, is that it?

I am a little confused about this too. On the podcast mentioned in the other threads, the insinuation was that the "cause" if you will, was someone sitting close to someone on a flight. Don't we charter everywhere these days?

If so, then it's unlikely that random staff person who has limited contact with the players/coaches was sitting on a plane around/behind/in front of, a non UR affiliated passenger who either had symptoms or tested positive him/herself.

I heard it as the staff member(s) who tested positive was who that reference was to (e.g. everyone was wearing masks but players were within 6 feet of that person on a charter).

I wouldn't bet against basketball being shut down as we enter the new year.

Mooney said the trainer got it.
