So American traveled all the way up to Worcester and just turns around now?
Who’s making these decisions?

So, so sad
I’m going to be in the minority here and perhaps a minority of one: we should play the games with the depleted team and if we have to add a few intramural players so be it.

Insane
It is no longer a big deal for the general population without other conditions and have been vaccinated
Nobody wants people to get sick but at the same time we have a federal government that is out of control.
If you called Tom Ingelsby from Hopkins, the newest addition to the team, he would give you better info than the others. But I will stop my comments for fear they might be labeled as political
Given AU is ready to play we should forfeit, just as if we were in DC and this happened to them at the last minute they would forfeit
Government must not insert itself in these health issues when it knows not what is doing- both parties

assuming the team was fully vaccinated?
maybe instead of blindly trusting The Science™ the next time we face a pandemic, we can see beyond the divisiveness, band together, and support genuine medical science that considers, evaluates, and deploys ALL available treatments at our vast disposal... not just a limited few that are patented and make billions of $$$ for the pharmaceutical industry.
absolute insanity that this is how we are dealing with this after 2 years. but sadly, not entirely surprising given the fact we've been fighting this thing with one hand tied behind our back by blindly focusing on vaccination thanks to pharma lobbies, corrupt politicians, captured regulatory agencies, and a complicit media. disgusting. we are capable of so much more.

Why was the game postponed? What exactly occurred? What was the rationale as it applied to this specific set of facts? Were Fed laws involved in the decision to postpone? I really don't know. Does anyone have any info? I would appreciate facts before arriving at a conclusion.

Absolutely absurd.
If they banged this game at home tonite, next to zero shot they play Sun at 'gate.

Protocols need to be reviewed and updated based on real world evidence. If the PL is basing its decisions on the information being shared by government vs science and data we should find a new home.

Understand your point to a degree but the school, Pl, and government have a long history of withholding information. Fed policy on this is not based on real world evidence. Like DaDo and others engaged in this daily, I believe we have an unvarnished view and NO political agenda, whether it be Trump or Biden

Frustrating
Guaranteed testing just because they can. Would be interested to know if the players have symptoms.
Outbreaks are happening with just the teams on campus wait until all students are there.
Now what will be the no fans excuse? The players have already had Covid.

Covid protocols win again. (It is not Covid, it is the Covid protocols.)
Note: Laffy v Loyola on ESPN+ now.

If you don’t think this take a toll on the mental well-being of 18 and 19 year old kids, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Fully vaccinated teams, no fans in attendance, healthy college kids who are at zero risk — cancel the game.
This is all wrong.

This is the second time in two weeks an AU team has traveled, only to have the home team cancel, literally, as we were warming up. WBB went up to Lehigh on 12/29 for our game up there on 12/30, and had just arrived at Lehigh's arena only to be told that the game had been postponed. Then, as now, I think the game should be forfeited. It is not fair for our kids to travel, and get there, and be ready to play – despite, again, being wildly shorthanded – and have the game postponed at the last minute. Why should we have to go back up there? And I would absolutely say the same if a team came to AU and arrived, ready to go, and we had last-second positives that forced a postponement. It's not right.

Completely nutso…I’ve noticed folks no longer even try to defend the weirdness on scientific grounds. Not even an ‘err on the safe side’ claim.

However, I do believe you are a loyal but disappointed Crusader who also wants whatever is best for the school which indeed may include playing tonight's b-ball game. Peace & good will.
