when does that mean we will start practicing again?

I think the pause is down to 7 days now, depending on testing, so I think we'll get a couple in before the Wednesday game.

Well this stinks. We were really playing efficient basketball - I guess it was to be expected but those early season loses are going to be an albatross for our dancing chances.
Going to need to play really well the back half of the season and make some noise in the ACC Tourney me thinks.

Meh, probably not. Ohio State demonstrated that it doesn’t really matter how many games you play. We just need to keep looking good

Agree about looking good and not the number of games you play. But some teams that have come back from COVID pauses can take a while to get back to where they were. Irritating because we were playing well.

When you say "we" do you mean MBB or this board?

If you're talking about the basketball team, once you have a positive test or a contract trace instance, I believe there are ACC guidelines that have to be met to start up again. So it would be out of Coach Pastner or AD Stansbury's hands. At this point, the team has to meet the ACC's protocols to start up basketball activities again.

Looks like you are correct. Syr and VA have issues. That's good news. The original tweet I saw was misleading

Now the NC State game is postponed due COVID cases in their program. State is a mess right now. The men's team missed three games in December and the AA announced there is a large cluster (six or more cases) in the department. The women's team, ranked in the top 5, hasn't played since Jan 3rd and it looks like it will be Jan 27th before they can play again. The ACC is not going to be able to schedule make-up dates for this many postponements and still have a tournament before the NCAA brackets are announced. I was so looking for to the hoops season and it has been an unfortunate disappointment so far.

I am thankful for the basketball we got in so far, but this season will likely always have the feel of a what-if kinda deal.. Not to write the obituary before the death of the patient, but the tournament seeding is going to be all messed up, and there are going to be teams who miss their shot to dance (REALLY hope we don't fall into the category). This team could make some noise in a tournament setting..
