Good afternoon,
We hope you are enjoying your holidays. Unfortunately, the Georgetown Men's Basketball home games on Jan. 1 v. St. John's University and Jan. 4 v. Xavier University have been canceled.

I doubt anyone is upset that the noon game on 1/1 is canceled. Awful scheduling.

Are any of the other major conferences having this many Covid cancellations?

It is not like I was going to be running around NYC on NYE with nearly 20,000 Covid cases daily. Would have been nice and relacing to sit on the couch and enjoy a game.

Understandable but I'd prefer our guys not be anywhere near NYC on New Year's.

Are any of the other major conferences having this many Covid cancellations? Georgetown has cancelled more games than any other Big East schools (4). It's also the most cancellations directly due to COVID-19 in its own program.

It's also the most cancellations directly due to COVID-19 in its own program. St. John's and Georgetown are the joint BE leaders in conf games canceled with 4. One b/c of Seton Hall, two b/c of St. John's, and one b/c of St. John's and Georgetown.

We needed more practice time than the others to study tape from the OOC to try to fix our 3-pt defense. 😷 I’m excited to see our new and improved defense.

If we get Bristol, do we need more small forward, wings. Any power forwards available? These are some very interesting circumstances!

Given that the CDC announced this afternoon that they're reducing the Quarantine time after a positive test from 10 days to 5 days if you're asymptomatic after the five days and have decided there is no need to quarantine after an exposure if you've been boosted, I wonder if the Xavier game (at a minimum) is back on for January 4th? The sense I got from Coach Crouch's tweet before the Providence game was that the guys were following all the guidance and protocols and were blindsided by positive tests within the program--which suggests that people were asymptomatic.

I couldn't get a PCR test to confirm it, but I'm really confident that I caught Omicron at the Syracuse game. Wouldn't shock me if a whole lot of people did. I had gotten my booster 10 days before and was wearing what I thought was a really good mask, but it wasn't enough. So whenever we get restarted, just be careful if you're going back to the arena. This thing is contagious as hell.

This Hilltop Hoops Tweet absolutely has no purpose. Why even post it?

Wouldn’t mind seeing some games played nightly. This would allow us to go deep into our bench. Whatever happens, there’s going to have to be some creative scheduling.

We know that GU is not playing at least up to Jan. 5th and our next game is on Jan. 7th. Will the BE be able to fit each school's 20 league games before the start of the BET on March 9th without affecting the student athletes?
