Yeah, good point about other teams travel plans. I'm a self-absorbed UMass fan, I don't even consider what the other guys might be doing. Just give me a friggin' basketball game!

We're going to see more of this, unfortunately. Let's leave well enough alone and give the players a few days off.

Yes. Games are getting cancelled all over the country. I don't think losing out on playing 1 non-conference game is a big deal. Rest up for the A10 schedule.

I disagree Econ. They just had an 8-day break, and with this cancellation will have an 11-day break before St Louis. We all probably agree that cancellations are going to be more common, especially after the holidays, so you have to do everything you can to get your team a replacement game in a situation like this. If you don't, you may be staring down the barrel of another 2 or 3 week break, more cancellations and as Joleon pointed out earlier, a significantly reduced schedule like last year.
Bamford is paid to schedule games, McCall is paid to coach them. Don't take an "oh well, maybe next time" approach, or the next time may very well be on the unemployment line. With that said, I will understand if they don't get a game. It's short notice and tough to do. But I hope they're trying.

Guys - Finals are long over. My bet is that within 60-90 minutes of learning "no game," a large % of our guys were gone from Amherst.

Why not get Amherst College to walk down the street and get a game in?

Not so fast.... today's Plant the Flag podcast has McCall saying they are trying to find an opponent. But he doesn't seem to confident it will happen. Comments made in the 1st minute of the podcast that came out today.

EDIT: He also explained why it was a 1pm tip.

I doubt they can find a game, but like others here would like to see it tried. Penn State cancelled on Quinnipiac (was a Wednesday road game for the Bobcats) and there may well be others that don't have to travel far and/or were going to travel anyway. Assuming, of course, UMass team is going to be around.

AIC, Springfield College, etc.
It could get Preston some floor time. He's rusty but a special athlete. He will contribute this year when he's ready.

Central CT and Brown have posted that they are looking for an opponent for Wed. Brown's post says they are willing to travel and the ride from Central CT is maybe 2 hours so it could be done. Stay tuned!

He also said that guys have not left campus yet. If they can't find a game, then they will stay on campus Tuesday and Wednesday and practice, so our guys are here regardless.InnervisionsUMASS wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:01 pm

Thanks for posting re: the Cancelation...
Did anyone, STHs in particular, get an email from Athletics re: this?
I did not...
Also, just saw the weather forecast tomorrow, indicating the likelihood of icy roads due to freezing rain tomorrow through noon time, west of my Rt 2 drive...usually starting uphill from Leominster into Fitchburg & Westminster. Would not have risked that situation.
