What are the odds VCU game get cancelled?

[Gospiders06]

With the program being shutdown with Covid. Takes several days figure out the spread. Who was in close contact? Can take up to 14 days to show? I say 60 percent right now it gets canceled

If we dont have gilly grant or anyone else on the starting lineup I dont want the game to be played.

 

[SpiderTrap]

I would say 90% cancelled.

a lot of schools have someone test positive and they're able to contract trace to isolate the problem. I don't know if we have wearables that trace though.

Vegas usually waits until 24 hours before tip to post the spread, but I'm guessing it was going to be about Spiders -2.5

I would say the odds are quite low. How long were we paused last time? And that was with false positives according to Mooney. But if it's an important player the odds decrease further, if end of bench player then they increase a bit.

I still don't understand how they are able to use contact tracing to clear the rest of a team from anything when a single person tests positive. They all practice, train, and travel together right? It's not like they stay distanced at all times

 

[spiderman]

contract tracing devices will tell you who's been within 6 feet for over 10 minutes. that seems to be considered the safe cut off, whether it's right or not.

I know the NFL protocol was two negative tests on two seperate days. So assume its a player - as mentioned above, everyone is probably a close contact. But if you test all kids and coaches today and tomorrow and get negatives - doesn't that isolate the problem.
The question would be - what if it is just 1-2 players. BUT they are key players. Like if Gilly and Francis tested positive, but everyone else negative. We could clearly field a team, but it wouldn't be very good. But do we cancel because of WHO tested positive, not HOW MANY?

If Gilly and Francis are out I guess we’ll finally get all those minutes for Wilson and Dji

Interesting question. Do teams cancel/post pone games based upon who can’t play?

Duke did, and wants to cancel its season, because they all cant play together.

No, it's because they aren't the Duke of old. Ask Tech.

Tech isn’t the Tech of old either!

Officially postponed, as others have noted should be an easy one to make up

 

[Spiders4ever]

100%

I am guessing its cayo. He posted on IG and is clearly in a hotel room.

I'd say the odds are extremely high --

I knew it. Kids, don't bother eating your vegetables!

Let’s do a day night double header.

I'd say the odds the game is postponed is much higher than cancelled. Big difference. I would think with proximity this would be easy to stay in postponed as opposed to cancelled.

the best break in our schedule is right after the 2/12 game @ VCU. the next scheduled game after that is 2/20. can fit one or even 2 games in there if needed.

 

[Eight Legger]

VCU wants to cancel it, I'm sure. One less tough game on their schedule. If they can skate by playing only the GWs and Fordhams of the league, they're a lock for a bid!

Let's set up a Valentine's Day Massacre.

It will have the added benefit of allowing enough travel time back to campus.
