they have a 5 days quarantine rule for "close contact". If Porter has Covid, that means everyone on the team is under quarantine. Freaking stupid.

[ShockTalk]

Tyson - 6-8 attempts (unless he's wide open and hitting)
Dex - 3-4 attempts
KP - 2 attempts
Joe - 1-2
Porter - 2-3
Qua - 2-3
RC - 3-4
Monzy - 2-3

I can see how you can get up to 20

The team averages 24.4 3pt shots a game.

As for ETN, he has had 3 games where he was hot: 17/40 / 42.5%. Also 1 where he wasn't. 1-11. His next 4 volume games were 8 to 9 shots and shot well in all of them: 14/34 / 41.2%. In what one could call his stinker games from 3, he's never shot more than 6 shots and was 2-17 for 3 games. Outside of the 4 highest shot volume games, he's averaged 6.45 shots per game.

Two players (based on small sample of 15-16 games), have not done well with their version of high volume of shots.
Dexter: When he shoots 5 or more 3s: 8-36 22.2%. Under 5, he's 33.3%
Monzy: When he shoots 4 or more 3s: 2-9 22.2%. Under 3, he's 42.8%

RC4 has shots the 3rd most 3 pointers so far this season and is shooting 32%. However, outside of 2 games, he only shot 22.5% on the season.

Wouldn't that have postponed this weekends game then?

[SB Shock]

Taylor notes that the players are vaccinated but may not all be boosted and that possibly causes contact tracing quarantine

That makes more sense that this is because of contract tracing - but it is stupid that it is because of not "being boosted".

[WuTheOne]

I'm guessing that at least 4 guys tested positive yesterday. 5 days quarantine for a positive test would knock out games through Saturday.

For those with season tix.........how many home games cancelled would it take for you to reconsider your investment? It seems that once again rules and regulations on COVID fly in the face of any logical thought to the business of basketball. It seems this university is going the wrong direction in almost every concievable perspective possible.

[molly jabali]

I wonder how they don't think they would have 7 players and a coach available for Saturday's game? Is WSU just ducking road games? With CDC guidelines, pretty much if you are symptom free u are good to go.

For all the issues, WSU did NOT duck ECU on the road

How the F can a game that is a week away be postponed already?? That has to be the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. Should they postpone if one of the players is exposed to the flu?

We live in bizzaro world now.

Welcome aboard.

Maybe WSU should just cancel the rest of the season for the health and welfare of team. Save some money and just prepare for the portal action.

Your not allowed to think or post about the portal.

I'd have to see how they handle the cancelled games before I decided.

no games = no losses = win

[Stickboy46]

no games = no losses = win

We can still salvage a winning season!

The math checks out.
