What could possibly have caused this? An inconclusive COVID test of one of the 4 players that haven't already had it? Makes no sense.

Makes no sense. based on these tweets are worded, It feels as if Richmond may have had an issue, so we bounced out before contact tracing could play a part and put us in pause for 14 days. If so its a smart move, rather postpone this then play it, and risk a few more cancels.

slufan13 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Keep and eye on Richmond and Dayton. If no news comes from them, I will be baffled by this decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoelabs Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Who possibly could be left that is positive? It ran through the whole team. This is insane... And its all because we have incompetent people working down there at grand center. I am almost ready to go the route of that troll guy with this. PLAY THE GAMES. The virus thing is over for SLU I really HOPE you guys are right and it is a Richmond Issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may just be a huge overreaction (edit: my overreation) to what is really happening. It is also possible, as some have suggested, that they medical staff saw something that was lax about Richmond's protocols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were within SLU, it probably would have said something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, there is no reason for us to ever go on pause again. We've got 12 players that don't even have to test at this point. That being said, if Richmond did have something inconclusive on their end and we didn't want to take a risk, it saves the 4 non positive players the threat of having to go into quarantine for 2 weeks. Depending on how good those 4 are maybe its the right call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the best shot in generations (maybe ever) at a deep run will be wasted because SLU's administration is completely hapless. Who knows if we even play another game.

slufan13 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Richmond was cleared to play according to their AD so I have no theories left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I guess it could have been something like we show up and Richmond says "one of our team managers isn't feeling well and we are awaiting his COVID test results." Then SLU's medical staff said that SLU's protocols wouldn't allow us to take the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or we can take the court, but if one person on our side gets it because we decided to take the court, we could be out for a few weeks.

The wording used did not make it sound like the team or athletic department had a say. It sounded like the medical staff made the call. Probably splitting hairs, but that's how I read it.

At this point SLU should just be labeled COVID free other than 4 guys. If one of them gets its they just sit. Other teams have just had players sit out (NC state for example) but we have to cancel everything over nothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBeliever!!! Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 At this point I just want us to get to the 13 games needed to qualify for the tourney. Don’t care about the seeding.

HoosierPal Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I know nothing more than anyone else, but if one player was not yet back to game worthiness, they could sit him and continue as planned. This smells as something larger to turn the plane around. Wondering about issues with Dayton or Officials at that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
