Long layoff

[Chairman Moe]

10 days between the last game and the next; then 9 days. Concern? Glad that they are both @ home and against teams we should beat. But it seems like an eternity

 

[Pittnerski]

Always a concern when we are as thin as we are and our margin for the tournament (thanks ACC) is so thin

Does seem like forever. That said, it puts us 10 days closer to Dunn's return, while not having to worry about losing without him during that span. Maybe he's progressing ahead of schedule!!

I don’t think our margin for the tournament is very thin at all - our chances to make the tournament are over 90%.

If we lose to Sammy H or Cal at home, then we are in trouble

We aren’t losing to Sam Houston. I feel if we go 12-8 in ACC no matter who the wins or losses are we are easily in and likely a 7 seed.

And again, this doesn’t change the fact I think it’s stupid as hell that a non conference can basically lock you in as long as you don’t fully implode in conference

Mentioned this in another thread last week--others said we have this kind of layoff every year during the holidays. Maybe. This seems longer than usual to me. I know Dunn is injured but I would rather see us playing consistently. Hoping he is back sooner rather than later but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses all of January.

you do realize the next game after SH is another monstrous gap of 11 days

I don't think it matters much, obviously lets Dunn loss impact us less and I think Pitt will be as read as needed, maybe better than ever with energy at 100+% for each

No, team is beat up and they need rest. Plus they get some good practice time in as well.

AGree that they needed the rest - especially after the 5 games played away from Pittsburgh. I, too don't think it will affect the next game but then having another 10 days off before Cal is not desirable to keep any momentum built up

Gave the young lads some time to catch up on their all important studies...Academics first I always say.

Nice sarcasm ...

I had a long layoff at the plant once. First day back, I had them floors clean as ever.
