We are not paused and are trying to find someone to play this weekend.
SLU Game Postponed
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
Bona and Duquesne both have games tomorrow, so a shuffle to make up one of those looks unlikely. So presumably we're looking for a non-conference matchup if we can find one.
But maybe you could pull something off like with Fordham, whose GW game tomorrow got postponed. Move the Fordham-UR game up and create openings for both teams on their current Feb 23 date.

Screw em. Hope Billikens and Ford go back to St Louie in a rented Chevrolet van.
Oh shoot, I forgot Fordham-VCU already got moved up to this Sunday. But yeah, would certainly be convenient if we could get Fordham down to Richmond today, play us tomorrow and VCU on Sunday. VCU is playing both days this weekend, so why can't Fordham.
So I guess SLU is opting out of the A10 tournament if they're uncomfortable with our protocols considering the tournament is being hosted here?
Wouldn't be surprised if we never hear why this game was truly cancelled. Not sure anyone from SLU or UR would say it publicly even if they knew. Hardt and Mooney sound peeved though. Can't blame them
So far Hardt hasn't said anything about the regatta being beached due to leaky boats...................If he did he could talk about SLU "springing a leak"..........................
I wonder if SLU players and coaches sleep with the lights on because they're afraid of the boogeyman?
So yeah, just went through the composite schedule for this weekend, and the only A-10 matchup that's really remotely feasible would be hosting Fordham tomorrow if they'd be willing and able to face us and VCU back to back.
Everybody else is either paused or playing somewhere else tomorrow, so it's hard to see how we could fit anything in. Super outside possibility would be us flying to Dayton tomorrow while they host URI and then we face the Flyers on Sunday. But don't think either team would like that. Back to back for them, short/no prep for both sides, and we'd have to get back home late Sunday with a quick turnaround to host Mason on Tuesday.

Is Furman on pause?
looking at the missed OOC games...
Is Cincy on pause too?
Last question, is there a LIVE pause database?
It's crazy that these two weren't on same page, two very high up ppl at UR. I don't know about bball players, if you look at 1 of those responses it's a few, she says a quarter. I could see some grad players. But Mooney said we were in hotels. Not sure if that was just temporary during the whole break, during covid pause, or if it's still ongoing. It was strange. But everyone would be off campus if that were the case. BTW personally I'd live in the on campus apartments and take that full D hall dining plan every damn day. Never got the off campus appeal while I was at UR.
See I don't believe that re: what spooked the Billikens. So SLU didn't tell us they just took off? Said they had protocol concerns but didn't say what those were. If Mooney doesn't know who does. I mean the 2 people who should know the most - Hardt and Mooney - really have no idea. That truly defies belief. Now it's possible you don't want to say but then just be honest. And if we really don't know we should be killing SLU in the press and taking it up with A10 office but instead they got the story out there first being our fault.
2 POINTS.
1.) Richmond goes overboard in the safety protocols, so not sure what the Chapley dude is talking about.
2.) Where is Bernadette in this? If the A10 agree upon protocols prior to the season and Richmond has met those protocols, she needs to come out on and say something--not hide behind that statement that led to this speculation.

Excellent points but I think we've all seen how Bernadette & A10 is generally a) slow to respond and b) have no teeth in response(s). It should be at the utmost importance for Bern & Co. to say what truly happened so the league can move on...this is a farce. It's clear by Richmond's statements that they're ready & willing and above all, CLEARED to play! So SLU can STFU.
Was looking forward to watch tonight's game. What's the minimum amount of conference games St Louis must play to participate in the A10 tourney?
In other news, Matt smith is making a fool of himself on Twitter again
If we/they play the tournament. SLU can come in as the lowest seed. Make them play every day to get to the final.
Kneepad, I love the Kevin Bacon thing. Love your username. My era, your choice is one of my favorites by far. Just think u were a little eager here going Kevin Bacon. It's not Moon's' fault. I think on top of his results he's also snakebit (or spiderbit is better term!) and why keep around just a little above average coach who is also snakebit. Better to run far away from that. But I'm digressing.
All I'm saying is those statements r exactly as predicted. I go more into it my other reply where Mooney says he has no idea why. Another example of our program softness imo. Philly soft. If SLU bailed which is entirely possible I admit that's bull. But we do have our own protocol problems raised by Noah in the press just recently, we also know Mooney has criticized protocols too. My point is give us something. Don't just hide behind we r doing everything right. We're not. It looks like the AD and VP of Students have no clue. So us saying yeah we have no idea why SLU left, we r doing a great job, we are shocked etc. well u don't get the benefit of doubt unless we are transparent about the SLU reasons which doesn't sound like anyone will be.
This is clearly all of SLU baseball teams fault. LOL he @ them twice.
So the 22nd ranked team refuses to play us. Is their rational they don’t want to give us a chance to improve our NCAA chances and protect their own. There needs to be A10 involvement now. The vagaries are ridiculous
Oh no what's he doing? These r the days I wish I had a twitter account. I keep putting this off. I mean I look at it obviously but that's all I can do.
That's the total number of games you need to be eligible for the NCAA tournament. AFAIK there is no minimum for participation in the A-10 tournament.
Just get enough other teams to say they have concerns about SLU's protocols and cancel every game at SLU so it's impossible for them to make the A10 tournament.
He’s replying to O’Connor’s tweets and @ing the SLU baseball teams Twitter account. I would give him a pass if he did it once, but he did it twice on separate tweets lol
Maybe SLU's concern is that RVA would allow seminars that invite people who still subscribe to a newspaper.
Louie took a flop.Louie pissed they lost A10 tourney venue and puts damper on UR venue award.
