It’s the most wonderful time of the year! College basketball is here and we can only hope that it is here to stay. The COVID-19 pandemic rages on and it will absolutely change the college basketball season. The season has been shortened, protocols are in place, and fans in attendance will be very limited or non-existent in some places.
In a sad, sick way that is what makes this college basketball season so interesting. How will teams fill gaps when players miss games due to positive tests or contact tracing? How will assistant coaches do in 1 or 2 game stints taking on the head coaching duties?
