The good news is, if we lose, and this is a short-term, the NCAA committee might be willing to overlook it, come Selection Sunday.

 

[Redenbacher]

Dingle out also per Connelly w illness

Why are we testing 20 year olds???

Much like the selection committee doesn’t give credit for close road losses due to decisive bad calls, they will not consider the coach’s absence due to Covid in 2024. This is a straight up bad break

I’m sure Pitinos staff can manage and he will be relaying messages I’m sure but it’s still not the same without him he knows exactly when to use his timeouts.

Here we go. Our resident snowflakes are running around like chicken little.

I am sure Pitino will be in contact during the game. Even SJU has moved past communicating via cups attached to a string.

Holy smokes! Relax. You can pee standing up again.

They considered Jim Boeheim's 9 game suspension when they put Syracuse in a few years ago.

When they made us the last team in the 2019 field, the chairman said on television, that the committee discounted two of our bad losses, because of injuries.

It's happened before.

When asked if he had his Covid shots, Jenkins supposedly answered I love shots

Nobody else on the team got the shot as DJ took all of the shots.

 

[SJU85]

I got Covid last year

why?

Was told he also has Covid

 

[Gabelmc]

Guess so

“Was told Rick Pitino started feeling symptoms Thursday. Tested negative Friday and Saturday. Didn't go to practice Sunday. Was at practice Monday and was feeling better. Then, after shootaround today, started feeling sick again and tested positive. Also, Jordan Dingle has COVID, per source.”

 

[SJU85]

Why are we testing 20 year olds???

Please, let’s not go down this rabbit hole on this Board again.

 

[RedStormNC]

Pitino and Mas should have an all game FaceTime

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

Live look in the St. John's huddle.

Let’s run the Fence boys but , don’t get caught watching the paint dry .

I would assume the protocol would be if someone is sick, you test for COVID to see how contagious you are. I doubt they're testing like they did three years ago.

 

[L J S A]

Not only will I refuse to budge from my prediction of a 14-point win, I am now predicting some career highs for Wilcher in front of friends and family because Mas will be slower with the hook.

71-57

 

[vegasman2000]

Maybe Mas will work the refs a little and get us an important call or two

I hope CRP is watching, and has direct comms to Mas

 

[Notanalum]

I’d bet they were tested for everything from the flu down. Hopefully we isolate it to tonight. I’ll take it as a good sign that coach was sick since last week and felt good enough to practice

 

[queenstocali]

Need to just let Mas coach. I doubt Rick is sending in play calls. Would be distracting. You can’t coach basketball from the couch.

 

[tnice]

I hope CRP is watching, and has direct comms to Mas

Not legal, but the thought of CRP upstairs calling plays like a defensive coordinator is fun.

Just to take everybody's minds off of this setback, has anyone noticed that the FOX network marquee game every Saturday has featured St. John's vs (fill in the BE team blank)? We must have impressed the FOX Sports people, somehow.
