lederh94 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 What do you guys think? Will there be a more regional schedule? Have a normal schedule with no fans? Will there be a season at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBull Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If lucky, my guess is conference only and no games until January. A lot will depend on how Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana are controlling the virus. If there are travel restrictions UB may not be able to play. Key to watch is Syracuse, if the ACC does not come to its senses. What has to be done for their games with schools on the travel restrictions list.

DocCas86 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I agree conference only is scenario where they play...Unfortunately I think no basketball a real possibility. A real optimistic version could be a regional holiday tournament with Syracuse, Bona, Buffalo and Siena ( Vermont or Umass) ok that last one won't happen. I can dream can't I?

mikescherrer8 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Probably not gonna happen, move it to spring and see what happens, even though nothing is going to change by then I’m sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think something like this is going to happen. Super short season. Conference tourney. Then maybe June Madness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there are enough D-1 schools in the Northeast you could put together a very nice schedule. A few home-and-homes thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they said anything about that yet Unless the NCAA makes a rule change the answer has to be yes. Teams need to play 25 games to be eligible for the tournament. So that means they will need to add at least 2 games to the schedule (conference champ plays three more games in Cleveland). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enrique14150 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I think they'll find a way to play but I highly doubt there will be any fans allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it sounds like just another season for those who live out of town. On a brighter note, I saw the NCAA said they are planning for a tournament next March.

I haven't missed a home game in many years (Men or women) and it would be much less eventful simply watching from a far. Hopefully it is not the case...and I won't sit there masked up, as that wouldn't bring any joy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This story and stories about playing in bubbles - got me thinking about potential mini - 4 team bubbles with rankings from barttorvik.com (FWIW) St. Bonaventure (#77 - A10); Buffalo (#147 - MAC), Canisius (#196 - MAAC) and Niagara (#239 - MAAC) - recent events not withstanding Fordham (#137 - A10), Siena (#144 - MAAC), Buffalo (#147 - MAC ), and Colgate (#166 - Patriot) Vermont (#75 - AE); Pittsburgh (#95 - ACC); UMass(#126 - A10) and Buffalo (#147 - MAC) Other teams that could be swapped in Duquesne (#80 - A10); Youngstown St (#202 - Horizon); or Cleveland State (#203 - Horizon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
