Discuss it here.
UTEP should be forced to FORFEIT this game. This game should NOT be allowed to be "rescheduled" simply because UTEP can't get their act together. Screw that. Play the game with who you have available, or go home with a loss. I'm tired of watching LA Tech get screwed in the CUSA standings because Tech played more conference games than someone else, etc.... (It happened in men's regular season bb in 2021, and football in 2020.) This is the 3rd year these college athletic programs have had to deal with COVID. If the school can't handle it by now, fire the coach and get someone who can. Clear and distinct protocols should be in place by now that prevent this. We don't stop games for the flu. Or, if we do, they are forfeited.RUSTON, La. – The Louisiana Tech women's basketball game scheduled for Thursday against UTEP has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns within the Miner's program.
Saturday game is cancelled as well.
That would suck. Last home game was Dec 10 (4 weeks ago), so even if we play USM at home on the 16th that'd be 5 weeks between ANY games in Ruston. After that 3 more road games: so at best one home game in 8 weeks. I was so looking forward to cheering for the Techsters.
Still a die-hard Techster fan!!
If we were in a more compact league, then we could shuffle the schedule on the fly, but a majority of games are flights, not gonna happen.
They should at least move Tech/USM to this week so we can try to get makeup games in those slots.
Unreal.
When are Men's games going to be impacted? Bound to happen.
I really wish some investigative reporter could find out the severity levels of all these COVID cases. I'd really like to know, in all cases, how many were asymptomatic, were regular cold-like, flu-like, hospital visit, ICU stay, death. It's ridiculous that we let them just say, we have x number of cases without breaking them down into severity.
I bet everything would change if we made them break this case number down to severity levels.
Looks like sanity prevails a little bit. Techsters v. So. Miss Sunday 2 pm!
