If they did have to forfeit those 2, they'd go 17 days between games. And come back with this doozy...
12/29 @ Providence
1/1 Villanova
1/4 @ Butler
1/8 UConn

3 Q1 games and @ Butler.

Agreed, especially since we're talking 2 games they'd be favored to win. It's not like they're forfeiting @Nova and @UConn.

Hmmm.

King Covid [i]Could[/i] put some heavy wrinkles into conference play.
While not as severe as Delta, the Omicron variant is seemingly more contagious,
so the possibility of many more cases of less severe illnesses.

If DePaul is on pause, too, I guess no forfeit?

Nova and Hall both 0-1. PC wins at UConn. Who is the favorite - Xavier or PC, maybe?
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.
