Us or still them?

Syracuse has already came out of their pause. They played Brown on Monday, and play again tonight against Cornell.

Right, we’ll let’s go ahead and get our pause out of the way.

Our first pause

Apparently if players test positive now they’re good for the rest of the season.

Hah. So like if a team has an outbreak that affects more than 1/2 guys (or even if it’s 1/2 critical guys), then you want to get the whole team together for a group hug/shouting session. You’ll have a couple games postponed but otherwise you’re good.

Better than periodically losing 2-3 guys at a time for the rest of the season.

But that does not preclude multiple pauses.

Also, you know Reece and Kihei will either have it or not at the same time so….

Wait, we’re on a Covid pause? Sorry if it’s been posted in another discussion but when was that announced?

Not yet. Maybe though

Got it. The alluding to maybe isn’t comforting. The new policy appears to shift more towards the NFL where if you’re vaccinated and are asymptomatic you can come back after two negative tests so maybe we’ll be good regardless…

Some legends in here! :large_orange_diamond::large_blue_diamond:

Fun watching Syracuse play offense with all those shooters and a dunker at the 5. Shot 60%

Yep, like Edwards a lot. Hoping that Shed can get there offensively

Ok guys what are we thinking for tonight? We match up terribly against a zone as we all know but this Cuse team is not very good defensively. Feels like a game we’ll need Franklin to hit a few to have a chance which seems like a tall order considering he’s like 2-22 in his last 6 games or something like that

We’ve executed very poorly against zones from teams that don’t do it for a living. We still can’t defend the 3 and we’re coming off a long break. I expect a pretty good beat down though this won’t be a referendum on the rest of the season. Just a bad match up

Won’t watch tonight if we roll out the same starting 5 against the zone. My blood pressure can’t take it.
