UMass Lowell 2020-2021: Down the long hallway

[bottomdweller]

From the Lowell Sun today, Lowell's next game is scheduled for this Sunday at home against Providence. The article didn't list a time. We'll see if it happens.

Norm also confirmed the transfer of Owen Savory and he's eligible to play next semester. Norm making public comments would lead me to believe it's official now.

At this rate, Savory will be able to play the whole season

So if we keep not playing, we'll be #1 by the end of January!

Now they are up to 8th!

With UVM and now BU not coming back to play, I wonder if we'll see a Commonwealth clash this weekend. UMass had BU on the schedule this weekend.

I'd have to double check what college football is doing but I don't think they postpone because of one positive test. If that is Hockey East's plan for a season I am not sure a season will really ever get off the ground. Let's hope the teams can get into some kind of groove like BC football which hasn't had any COVID cases.

How many positive tests?

As far as we know - 1, but the entire team had to be quarantined, which is why the games this weekend were postponed.

As expected, the games against BC this weekend are officially postponed as well.

Despite not playing a game yet, Lowell moved up to #10 in both polls this week.

Never saw anything about this in the long offseason, but the team's new Director of Hockey Operations this season is Dylan Zink.

he sounds familiar...

edit: this software is a nightmare, i have a winking emoji in case the subtle joke misses

edit #2: I'll admit the subheading did have a point... mostly that the COVID environment is going to pose an ongoing hassle and that the season will move one day at a time.. What I'd "like" to see if the NCAA would extend the schedule out a month to May if they can get the venue to work with everybody. Pro team relationships probably mean it won't... but if this season went to one month to six weeks out that'd make a big difference.

UMass Lowell basketball takes down a (last season) competitive 20-win WCC team in the San Francisco Dons 76-68 down at Mohegan Sun. The Dons committed 21 second half fouls.

edit: this is the first time Lowell has won to start the season as a Division 1 squad

edit #2: these two teams were 200 ranks apart last year on one of the more reliable computer rankings
