I haven't heard any rumors about the new basketball field house. Has anyone heard of any potential start dates?

ASU with James Harden couldn't beat us. It's probably the first team glad for a pandemic to excuse an ass kicking.

How many more teams will be withdrawing? This pandemic really causes a great mess in sports. Not a good news.

It was only a matter of time. So there's what ? 4/5 games we lost. I'm sure Seton Hall and Illinois will follow suit. It'll be like mid to late December before we play a game. If the seasons not canceled by then

They pull out of the game but are still traveling to Mohegan Sun per ESPN.

Pulling out of the game is ridiculous.

As far as I'm aware there is no evidence of on filed or on court transmission of Covid.

Screw ASU

Will you say screw SH and Screw Illinois Etc when they all pull out of playing Baylor. As mad as I am. If roles were reversed Baylor would do the exact same. No one to blame but ourselves

If you want to blame somebody like I said blame BU. Same **** happened in football. And besides you had to know this was coming. There's not going to be a March madness so any games played in the regular season are mulligans

I wonder if they were more afraid of a humiliating loss than they were of COVID. Just saying.

Nice team photo. Something I just noticed, not that it matters: almost everyone has a goatee now, even Butler & Mayer.
