I believe that UConn will have a tournament resume if they don't play a game until mid-March. Indeed, if there is some rule that would prohibit them from playing, I'm sure it will be changed. If they can play 5 players, they'll be in the tournament. I think they've earned it.

I don’t doubt that UConn will be in the tournament, it might just be as an unfamiliar seed this year depending on how things play out. Say, if UConn is a 6 seed instead of a 1, their road becomes that much harder to the Final Four. An off day against a three seed could doom them, before having to trudge through a 2 seed, and a 1 seed just to get to the Final Four. They’re certainly capable, just becomes a tougher road.

UConn's freshman class is outstanding. The diminished number of regular season games will hurt their ability to play into college shape for sure, but I would put them right up there with South Carolina, Baylor, and us for title contenders by the time March rolls around, assuming no injuries. Bueckers is the real deal, as are Edwards and Muhl, not to mention the return of Westbrook, if she's healthy. UConn will be leaps and bounds better than they were last season, and barring a fluke, I don't see them losing to a three seed come March, let alone being ranked anywhere but in the top two seeding quartets.

UPDATE November 26; Tara 3 wins to tie Pat

Summitt lifetime wins: 1098

Tara through the 2019-20 season: 1094

Geno Auriemma through the 2019-20 season: 1091
________________________________________________

Tara's wins this season: 1
Tara's total wins so far: 1095
Number of wins to tie Pat: 3

Geno's wins this season: 0
Geno's total wins so far: 1091
Number of wins to tie Pat: 7

Stanford Upcoming games:

1. WSU
2. Washington Dec 6
3. UC Davis Dec 11 first possible chance to tie Pat

4. at Cal Dec 13 first possible chance to surpass Pat

UConn's first 4 games have been cancelled or postponed and their full schedule has yet to be posted. Only 6 games appear on their schedule, including Baylor, Tennessee, and South Carolina.

So the latest COVID events now make it possible that Tara will surpass Pat when playing at Cal.

why on earth would you schedule a game for 2pm on a monday that's not a holiday - unless the tv gods force the odd slot? am i missing something? i can't remember that happening before.

Probably because the San Diego students will only miss one school day (Monday) since they can travel home after the game. Possible they simply couldn't get the team up to Palo Alto by Saturday to play on Sunday as scheduled vs. Pacific.

My view is we're lucky to have games at all given these conditions, so I'll take it and be grateful.

I'm delighted they could schedule a replacement game. This may make it possible for Tara to pass pat at home.

Sadly, it is smack in the middle of my work day and I think there is no way to record it off the video feed, so this will be a rare missed game for me. I do wish these video feeds were made available for replay.

For that matter, so is the Washington game. It seems as if when they decided to play without fans in the stands, they also decided that it didn't matter if or when fans could watch online or on TV. Perhaps this makes it easier to travel in some way?

In WVB Stanford usually gets preferential treatment in tournament seeding based on reputation. The seeding committee just expects Stanford will end up in the final four even if they stumbled early in the season.

If anyone finds out about live stream of USD game, please post. After watching the Cal Poly game, I'm becoming a WBB fan.

The time may be to get the appropriate testing done, with the results back in time to decide about travel, plus getting the flight here (plus perhaps approval to take a flight). For a 2PM Monday game, the PCR tests have to be taken AFTER 2PM Saturday, and then be back before the game (and, presumably, before gathering for the flight). The recommendation is to travel by motor vehicles when possible, but it is a long drive. I can imagine that they are taking an early (8AM-10AM) flight from San Diego, rather than Sunday afternoon and having to stay in a hotel.

To make a Sunday 2PM game would have required testing after Friday 2PM. But maybe they couldn't line up testing with results back quickly enough.

RE: WBB: The Race to the Summitt - 81alum - 11-29-2020

Well, the three week cancellation of contact sports is the worst nightmare for this "race." I'm not venturing into the territory of whether the shutdown was right or wrong. This cancellation will stop the next 7 WBB games, leaving our next possible game Jan 1 at Arizona.

UConn has 4 games scheduled during that stretch. If Geno wins them all--and why wouldn't he--he and Tara will be exactly tied at 1095 by the end of this calendar year, each of them needing 4 wins to surpass Pat.

Then looking into next year, Stanford's schedule (if not altered) would be:
1) @ Arizona Jan 1
2) @ ASU Jan 3
3) Oregon Jan 8
4) Oregon State Jan 10

Probably the toughest part of our season schedule.

UConn has an incomplete schedule listed in the new year. Who knows who they will be playing. All that shows so far is
@ Baylor Jan 7
@ Tennessee Jan 21
South Carolina Feb 8

My guess is that they will fill in their normal patsies, that UConn will play at least once during the first week of January before Baylor, and twice in the second week of January, and once in the third week before going to Tennessee. It is therefore likely, depending on how UConn does against Baylor, that Geno will pass Pat before Jan 14 or so.

Of course everything is up in the air. New games will be scheduled and additional games will be cancelled. It is almost random at this point. But however you look at it, Tara just lost her advantage over Geno in the race to the Summitt.

But to keep this in perspective, I am sure that Tara at doesn't care about the "race." She is probably just mourning for her team, which has so much promise and so desperately wants to play. And yet the disappointment of not playing is minor compared with the projected 400k+ deaths and millions of permanently damaged human beings before the vaccines finally put an end to this scourge.

But I will count this as one more depressing side effect of this annus horribilis.

RE: WBB: The Race to the Summitt - Softball Fan - 11-29-2020

I just looked at the WBB gostanford website. There is no announcement of Monday's game being cancelled. Has there been an official announcement? Would events scheduled for Monday be given a grace period under the new Santa Clara Covid policy?
