For those who don’t follow Twitter, Georgetown’s game tonight is postponed and we are on pause due to COVID 19 in our program. Expected that next two games also postponed.

I was honestly surprised we hadn’t lost a game at this point. Everyone else in the conference has pretty much. Felt like only a matter of time. |

So obviously this season has been disappointing, and while I try to stay balanced in commentary most of my comments have skewed negative because, well, the product has been negative.
But at no point was it lost on me that the team was sacrificing a ton and putting themselves at risk to play games that provide entertainment value to us. I hope everyone recovers quickly and has no long term effects

If the 14 day protocol is held, that's four games of a 20 game conference schedule (20 percent) to reschedule or cancel.
Next game outside the 14 day window is Jan. 30.
Meanwhile, the women's team were routed at Butler, shooting 15 for 65, 3 for 28 from three.

I hope all players are ok and whomever came down with COVID recovers fully.
For all those who call for coaches head or claim our players arent of BE quality...I hope you realize that we are lucky to even have Hoya basketball. Schools have cancelled their entire sports programs for lesser issues then player health. Every extra-curricular activity at the hilltop should be putting the student first and Basketball is no different. This has been a difficult year on and off the court and even though our W-L doesn't reflect it, I've been proud of our school and program for how they have handled the difficulties so far. In the end, we are a College program, not the NBA. Things wont be perfect and patience is required.

I was speaking about the general move away from athletics by schools that are more academic focused...not due to COVID. We could be Holy Cross right now. My general point is that we are lucky to even have a program that spends like an elite program. |

Will our team be allowed to practice during the COVID suspension? I hope everybody recovers quickly and remains healthy. That's the most important thing at this point, and hopefully we can make up the games later in the season. My guess as to your question is that it depends on who was exposed/contracted the virus. If it is someone on the team itself, my guess is everyone will be in quarantine. If it's the sort of thing where a staff member was exposed/contracted it, but nobody else tests positive in the next week or so, my guess is everybody will be cleared. One would hope the university has protocols in place to handle this very thing. |

Wizards also shut down.
I guess there must be a spike in the DC area though it doesn’t seem like it

So is our next game Providence on 1/30 if all goes well? I can't believe it, but COVID has proven to me that I'll take bad basketball to no basketball any day. I hope the kids & staff are on the mend and we can play a few more games this year before the off season.
