Game 4: GMU (2-1) vs Maryland (3-0) Canceled due to Covid.

[Petey Buckets]

Last year, Mason kept it close until UMD switched to zone and they killed us with their length. If the same thing happens which shooting team will show up?

Last year Maryland was notorious for slow starts and messing around with lesser competition. They lost the first ten minutes against teams like Mason, Rhody, Oakland, Temple, and Harvard OOC, then did the same thing a bunch of times in conference. I fear our good start last year was more about how much trouble Maryland had paying attention to start games rather than anything we did correctly.

I hope we're competitive but Morsell, Wiggins, and Ayala is gonna be really tough for us to match up against.

Game just got postponed/cancelled...Mason has a positive test...they're on pause.

Hope everyone is okay.

Hope everyone is okay and remains asymptomatic.

Hopefully we follow the new CDC guidance and don’t wait the full 14 days. This would pretty much take us through to A10 play at this point right?

I have heard from my "sources" that this is just a ploy by the team to give the equipment managers time to find AJ's goggles.

I hope it was a player that actually logs minutes and not a bencher. Tough to have a match-up with Maryland cancelled.

Assuming it would have to be since Howard is also quarantining now too.

I'm assuming it means Tuesday's game against Morgan St. will also be called.

good call. Didn’t see that.

Jmu, odu too. maybe more.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.

I’m just going to assume at this point that the OOC is done for so if we do happen to get any games in before A10 play we can be pleasantly surprised.

And Now DP has his excuse for not preforming in year 6. That 14 day break back in December....

“You know, I really thought we hit our stride after we shut down Howard’s 3rd team. We were gonna wipe the floor with Maryland then cruise through the A10. That pesky covid shutdown though just took the shooters out of the rhythm”.

FWIW, the CDC is lowering the recommended quarantine days:

Not sure how that might impact teams moving forward.
