majerus mojo Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 NC State beat UMass-Lowell (90-59) to open their season, then had games with UConn/FAU/Louisville cancelled. They play UNC next Tuesday. Edit: Couple games NCST picked up to replace those cancelled per the other thread: wins over Charleston Southern (95-61) North Florida (86-51) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are every bit of a top 40 team right now. This is a great game to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of St. Louis kids come back and go bonkers vs the Billikens. Hopefully not having family / friends there makes this less likely to happen.

We absolutely need to take care of business this week and we will be ranked. Just to add to this here are KenPom's odds of winning the games: Indiana State - 88% NC State - not yet posted, they are 1 spot ahead of us, but SLU will be slightly favored at home. I'd guess 55%ish. Minnesota - 44% Combined odds of winning all 3 games (assuming NC State is 55%) would be just 21%. I think KenPom has SLU underrated and I believe SLU can win all of these games, but it will be a tall task to win all 3 in the span of 6 days.

ARon Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The A10 just announced formally changing COVID-19 protocols. “Protocols for the 2020-21 men’s and women’s basketball season were revised to reflect the changing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and NCAA return to sport resocialization guidelines. This includes the recent shortening of the quarantine period from 14 to 10 days, and seven days with negative testing. Additionally, the suspension of testing following a positive result, which was originally 90 days, could be considered for up to 150 days. In both instances, the individual must remain asymptomatic.L RUBillsFan and rgbilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 7 minutes ago, kshoe said: This is huge. Huge for the men's team going forward and for A10 conference play in general. Currently huge for the women's team who is under COVID quarantine now. They paused on 12/8. Therefore, if they've tested negative, they could resume tomorrow. I'm not sure what the MVC rules are, but I guess we'll see if they play Indiana State on Thursday or Illinois State on Sunday. Both games are listed as postponed on the website. As best I can tell neither of those teams has replaced the SLU games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
