Wichita State at East Carolina Pregame Discussion 12-29-21

[SB Shock]

Like I said, I think college basketball season isn’t gonna be worth paying attention to until at least early February.

Probably 1 positive asymptomatic person that is a threat to no one.

Must be a team of trump voters - because we know they are the only ones who don’t get vaccinated.

[ShockerFever]

Not to mention the team is already in Asheville, freaking North Carolina. In addition to the lost fan revenue with all of this, how about the millions being wasted on traveling to places and staying at hotels all for nothing?

[ShockerExpress]

So frustrating and beyond stupid. This isn’t November of 2020. Get a grip and change the rules. It’s nonsense.

Must be a team of trump voters - because we know they are the only ones who don’t get vaccinated.

These rules don't care about vaccination status or that the odds are the infections are of the newest strain which isn't anywhere close to being as potentially dangerous to pretty much anyone.

Did I see somewhere that the PAC has a rule that as long as you have one coach and seven players test negative the game will be played. That's much more reasonable that whatever the hell is going on here, even though being positive at this point isn't all that bad.

This will never happen, but home team should be obligated to play once away team has boarded that flight. As long as they have six players available. It’s not logical to make the away team travel just to allow the home team to cancel because they decided to test day of. So now we’re paying for two trips to Greenville this season? Ain’t right.

WSU-ECU Game Postponed

https://goshockers.com/news/2021/12/29/mens-basketball-wsu-ecu-game-postponed.aspx

The American Athletic Conference has postponed Wednesday evening's men's basketball matchup between Wichita State and East Carolina due to health and safety protocols within the ECU program.

The Shockers arrived in Greenville, N.C. on Tuesday evening and took part in a Wednesday afternoon shoot around at Minges Coliseum.

Director of Athletics Darron Boatright said:

"We have been in communication with ECU and the conference office throughout the day. We hate that these types of postponements continue to be a reality, but if we're to push forward with an athletic season in the midst of a pandemic, we're going to face challenges like this. We will work with ECU and the conference to find a makeup date that makes sense for both parties."

I thought WE had the rule of 7 healthy scholarship players and one coach. And last year, I believe the make up policy was if the home team cancelled, they had to make it up on the road.

[WeWillShockU2]

Crappppp! I am ready for some Shocker Basketball.

[1972Shocker]

It's going to be a long season.

If this game is rescheduled it should be played in Wichita.

Not to mention the team is already in Asheville, freaking North Carolina. In addition to the lost fan revenue with all of this, how about the millions being wasted on traveling to places and staying at hotels all for nothing?

We should hang out in Dooley's office until they cut us a ****ing check.

[Maizerunner08]

I feel like with how easily this new variant spreads, you will have more postponements than games played.

If the conference policy doesn’t change, I find it hard to see how more than half of all conference games are played.

[ShockerFever]

Testing asymptomatic people is the biggest problem. Just nonsensical.

Cold is probably getting a boner with all of this.

[Stickboy46]

They never should have changed the rule. Should be a forfeit and move on.

Testing asymptomatic people is the biggest problem. Just nonsensical.

Cold is probably getting a boner with all of this.

Your epidemiological and infectious disease ignorance is only surpassed by your willingness to display it publicly.
