Seems appropriate to have SJU play UConn in their first game back.....would love to give them a “this is no AAC” welcome back!

So, what do we think the reason is that a schedule gets put out until Christmas?

Per Rothstein:
Sources: The Big East is intensifying its plans for a January bubble due to recent spikes in COVID-19. League is currently exploring multiple locations.

Honest question - are there any areas of the country seeing a decrease in cases? Not sure which cities would be considered "safe" at the moment, let alone 2 months from now.

What’s up with the start times?

Creighton at St. John’s at 5pm ET on a weekday? Xavier at Creighton 2pm CT on Wed Dec 23. Odd.

Not really to me. No fans. Can spread out the gametimes. Also, on other dates, fitting it in with college football.

With UCONN and DePaul both on COVID pause, St. John's will now open at Seton Hall on Friday at 4:30pm.
