No fuzz tongue I was talking about the news that just came out today that Xavier MBB received permission from the Big East office to add a non-conference game. Unfortunately, the big east acting with the speed of the federal government taking their sweet old time blew the chance that Xavier had scheduling a game for Tuesday against South Carolina State. The Big East schedulers have been a disaster

I think everyone hopes we see a full 20-game Big East schedule this season, but the fact that the Big East gave Xavier permission to do this means we may not see that happen. Unfortunately, it depends entirely on the pandemic and how it affects BE teams going forward.



BTW the 5 star your astute son was talking about is a very big shot n the dark and even though X has a chance the real question would be does X want to risk it!

Come on you know what hype is. The Real story is how crappy the BE is in scheduling or rescheduling these postponed games. Somehow to have to believe that Stu Jackson is not earning is pay. They have rescheduled GT but none are X against someone. 17 days in the middle of a season when a team is healthy is insane

The excuses are all ready beginning.

I know X wants a game but not Iona and Pitino. I also can't see Iona playing UK

We struck out on getting another game. Question: if all postponed games are rescheduled would we be allowed to add an extra game. Wouldn’t that exceed the NCAA allowed number of games?

IF X played all 20 BE games they would not be allowed any other games because max is 31, which is why it looks like X will not get all 20 games. There are just not enough opening dates to use. Of course, this presents the problem of taking 17 days out of a schedule. So what happens with a canceled Butler game? Butler had their game canceled at UConn by there is word that Butler had had some covid concerns and in this environment safe one day doesn't mean safe the next day. Colleges have had rules about vaccinations for everyone on campus but that has not stopped the problem. Then there are teams like UConn with injury problems and they "have covid" instead of playing short-handed.

And then there is X which hasn't been able to play any games for 17 days so how well oiled can they be, sure Free has had more chance to recover but not playing games doesn't give a player great game speed or condition. We will see how the time off affects X. If they don't play Butler it would be 21-22 days off and a home game against Nova. Why to play a season.
