Yep. Siena has yet to play a game this year and they're already into their conference schedule. The MAAC started their season early to allow for time for makeups. Siena is going to need a lot of them.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
For WBB, two non conference games added to the schedule...
This Saturday vs. Delaware State at 2PM. Game will be televised on NBCSP+

Wednesday 1/13 at La Salle at 6PM.

I guess my hope of the CAA doing a schedule flip flop this weekend isn't going to happen.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
Next weekends MBB games against Elon have been postponed due to Covid protocols. Honestly, if games don't get made up, the teams with the positive Covid test should be forced to forfeit.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
So this is a very interesting schedule change.

The CAA just announced that Drexel MBB will be travelling to W&M to pay them for a third straight game on Saturday 1/23 at 1PM. This will be a revenge game for Drexel and a chance to make up for their devastating collapse against them last week.

I think that the CAA is sending a message to the teams that are cancelling all of their games, that they're not going to punish team that don't have COVID problems by allowing them to play more games. I also wonder if the teams who can't get their games in due to their own COVID problems will be penalized with their tournament eligibility and seeding.

Wonder how this plays in (if it does) to conference standings? Haven't seen any mention anywhere.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
Somebody mentioned to me on the W&M page that they have to play a minimum of 8 CAA games, and a team could theoretically have 10 games cancelled due to Covid issues, and then win their 8 games that they play and go 8-0 and get the 1 seed. If a team plays less than 8 games, all of their games missed up to 8 would count as losses. I think that's wrong, especially for the teams that have the Covid problems.

I think you read it wrong. I think games only count as losses for seeding if a team has fewer than 8 games played, otherwise its based purely based on win percentage for seeding. So a 6-0 team would count as 6-2 for seeding, as an example

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
And once again Drexel gets screwed by another team's failure to contain the virus. Drexel MBB's games this weekend against Northeastern are postponed. Northeastern's games the following weekend are also postponed.

This is now the 5th time, leading to 8 postponed games because the other team f'd up, while Drexel has been pretty much Covid free this season. I'd like to see Dr. Zillmer step up to the CAA and tell them look, these games should count as forfeits for our opponents and wins for us. It's ridiculous that they're season keeps getting screwed because of their opponents.

You need to calm down.

If you think this can't or won't eventually happen to Drexel then you need to get a clue. NU has always taken the necessary precautions to prevent this from happening, but it happened.

This is effecting everyone, Drexel will not be immune to this. So get over it.

Not sure why you need to be so rude about it. This is frustrating on our end. Maybe it will happen to Drexel, maybe it won't. But this is 8 games (6 CAA games), and it's getting ridiculous. I honestly believe that once the season is over, they need to look at all missed games, determine which team caused the games to get cancelled, and add in ghost wins and ghost forfeits and seed accordingly based on that.

You insinuated that NU was being lax and therefore, led to a positive test. Your tone was laying blame at NU and that DU's testing standards have been so much better than everyone else since your athletic dept. hasn't tested positive yet.

NU played 2 weeks ago at Charleston. As soon as they left, CofC had their outbreak. Ever think that may have impacted us? Some of us thought last weekend's games could be in jeopardy. Now JMU has to wonder about this too.

This is the world we are dealt with. No one wants to miss games.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
Up until now, NU hasn't missed a game since their season opener was cancelled. NU played some tough OOC opponents, but actually playing those games allowed your young team to get into a great flow and has played very well in the CAA. Drexel, despite having a very talented team, hasn't been able to get into that flow due to all of the cancellations and it's showing in the standings. It's just very frustrating. Not sure who else is available to play this weekend, but I hope that Drexel can still get in some CAA games as replacements.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
I understand your frustration but look at Elon. They haven't played since NU hosted them in early January.

Losing games in the OOC part of the schedule is tough for sure. If your AD is proactive he might try finding a team in a similar situation and schedule a game like NU's AD did.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
i blame the conference if i'm looking at this right.

drexel-northeastern (nu issues) and jmu-charleston (charleston issues) both got postponed. drexel and jmu haven't played each other yet. why wouldn't you have drexel and jmu play each other? i can't imagine all the hotels are booked up in philly and harrisonburg. the saturday/sunday schedule should give more flexibility. it's not like you're suddenly asking a team to go to hofstra on a wednesday then charleston on a saturday.

my understanding is zilmer and some other drexel brass got good positions within the caa...so i guess you can still blame our ad. let me know if i'm getting some key pieces wrong. otherwise i think the caa is doing a terrible job managing the schedule.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
The CAA has been a total fail this year, especially, with deciding on just an 8 game minimum for being permitted to participate in the CAA Tournament, not punishing the teams who are causing the cancellations, and not rewarding the teams who are victims to the cancellations. Since Drexel is going to JMU later in the year, it would be a no brainer for JMU to make a trip to the DAC this weekend to play at least one game.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
i would imagine there would be other teams looking for games the weekend drexel was supposed to play jmu. so switch up the schedule for that weekend too. flexibility is the only way this can work. if the pac 12 can play a 10 am game in the rose bowl...the caa should be able to schedule any games they can in short notice.

that coastal carolina-byu game is another example. ended up being one of the best college football games of the year.

RE: 2020-2021 Schedule Updates
Punishing teams for cancellations. Wow. Horrible take. With what is already known about covid and how it routinely is carried non symptomatically, how can you fault teams who are doing the right things and still getting hit? You absolutely cant fault teams (mostly) because they can literally be doing everything right and still catch it. Welcome to a sport that is always in close contact with others. Its inevitable. And Drexel is not immune. We were hit in the preseason, and have been fortunate to have not been hit during the season, like the women have and many others. If it were not for the implications of money this season likely would not have played. But the NCAA was not going to miss out on large revenue again so the only method was power through and inconvenience to all.
