I certainly do. I wasn’t aware he helped schedule the 1 and 1. Was he in a position to do so?

Hardt of course is now the Richmond AD, but I doubt he had much to do with scheduling this game. Mooney has been at Richmond since 2005 and I imagine he has almost complete authority to make his own schedule - within reason of course. The fact that he has played Bucknell six times shows that he didn't need John Hardt to suggest the Bison as a good opponent.

I have always liked the match up. DC and Northern Virginia have so many great options for opponents.

That’s good news, because Richmond and coach Mooney have always been willing to do return games at Sojka.

This game is reportedly scheduled for December 20th.

...which falls on a Sunday, for others who may have wondered.

With the COVID-19 spikes that we are seeing around the country, it will be very interesting to see if any NCAA games happen at all in 2020-2021.

BTW, sports like baseball, softball, swimming, diving, track & field, cross-country, crew, golf, and tennis can socially distance to a certain extent, but I don't see how contact sports can be played unless the NCAA just accepts that people are going to get sick and lots of testing is needed.

I estimate the chance of any NCCA bball this academic year to be approximately 0.00%.

Dust off the VCR, folks; gonna be a long and dark winter.

Go Bison!

I think wrestling may be one of the few indoor sports that can happen this year. While they contact us intense, it’s a one-on-one sport in which testing could keep the athletes safe.

Cancun Challenge has been relocated as Space Coast Challenge in Florida, assuming it comes off at all

I seriously doubt this will take place - or that Bucknell will be a part of it. Unless the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine project develops as fast as some are hoping. But on the off-chance it does . . .


In past years, this tournament has been structured like the NIT Tip-off event was last year, i.e. two games at the campus of two of the P6 teams, then a four-team mid-major bracket - with semi-finals, a consolation game, and a championship game. In other words, four games in all. However the article says "teams will be in the area an average of five or six days". To me that implies that all games will be on-site.

Right now there are apparently seven teams committed (three P5 teams and four mid-majors): Bucknell, Clemson, East Tennessee State, Illinois State, Mississippi State, Purdue and Rider. Having said that, East Tennessee State was really good last year - 16-2 in the SoCon and then an easy tournament championship - and could be put into the role of a major if necessary.

A full schedule for the Bison is unlikely to happen, but if it does, it would look like this:

- Hofstra (Away)
- Princeton (Away)
- Rider (Home)
- Albany (Away)
- Siena (Home)
- Fairfield (Home) #
- Towson (Away)
- La Salle (Home)
- Richmond (Away)
- Space Coast Challenge (games vs three or four of Clemson, East Tennessee State, Illinois State, Mississippi State, Purdue, Rider, and TBD.

# Haven't seen this game confirmed but two years ago it was reported that the teams had agreed to a four-game series.

IMO, I think that we can throw the schedules out of the window. I seriously doubt that the Bison will play any games except for maybe a PL schedule.

re: Space Coast Tourney

TBD = Central Michigan

Illinois State is the fourth designated host team.

format appears to me to be same as last year, visit two host teams, play in non-hosts tourney in Florida.

Would the Bison fly on a charter or commercial flight? Personally, I won't fly on a commercial flight now.

Can't rule out a big ol' bus trip. I'd fly commercial now.

Very questionable if this tournament will be played, but that's a tough group of games. Clemson was middle-of-the-pack last year in the ACC. ETSU was the #2 ranked mid-major, behind Gonzaga who really isn't a mid-major. And both Georgia Southern and Rider are fairly good mid-majors.

Not only is there a question as to whether thes games will be played, but if so, will spectators be permitted? Looks to me like this is a conference schedule only season, if that. At this point while I doubt there will be an ooc schedule, I am not ready to bet against a league schedule happening.

Also, what happens with travel to and from other states, particularly if travelers must quarantine after visiting certain states? I agree that OOC schedule is most likely not happening. If conference schedule happens in January, at this point my guess is no fans.

I'm setting my sights on next year for all spectator sports. End of March 2021 the beginning of baseball season is my starting point. This winter will be a winter of covid, disruptions, quarantines, etc. Gone are the days of a college basketball player getting the flu and trying to play through it or even sitting the bench. If one player gets it all go into quarantine and games will be cancelled. At best we may see news of a scrimmage or two. I see no light at the end of the tunnel until spring next year. Things will be back to the days of the past about 2030 at earliest.

Not likely a full schedule will be played, but putting together all of the above, this is what it looks like:


Nov. 10 - Towson (Away)
Nov. 20 - Clemson (Away) *
Nov. 24 - East Tennessee State (Neutral) *
Nov. 25 - Rider OR Georgia Southern (Neutral) *
Dec. 2 - La Salle (Home)
Dec. 20 - Richmond (Away)
TBD - Hofstra (Away)
TBD - Princeton (Away)
TBD - Rider (Home)
TBD - Albany (Away)
TBD - Siena (Home)
TBD - Fairfield (Home) #
TBD - Penn State (Away)

* Space Coast Challenge (new site for Cancun Challenge)
# Haven't seen this game confirmed but two years ago it was reported that the teams had agreed to a four-game series.

- - - - -

The only problem is that this is one more game than allowed under NCAA rules, so one of the games listed must be incorrect. Maybe Fairfield. Maybe one of the other return games. With a 50/50 chance of playing Rider in the tournament, maybe their visit to Sojka is going to be delayed a year.
