Do you need more than 3 players out of the game, including your top scorer, to get a postponement. Anyone know the cutoff limit?

WVU was forced to play the game despite having 3 players out with covid but TCU gets a postponement over covid. Did TCU have more than 3 unavailable? What’s the cutoff limit between play anyway and postponement?
Taz Sherman 20.9 points, 3.3 rebouds
Gabe Osabuohien 4.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 20 assists
Kobe Johnson 1.9 points, 0.9 rebounds, 5 assists
27.1 points NOT in game because of covid!

Why would we NOT play? We have 14 men on the roster, right? If three are out, then that leaves 11. Play the damn games!

We did play the game. TCU got a postponement for their Covid19 issue, though. Question is - how many players were out for TCU to get a postponement. Has the BIG12 set a number?

Shut up, racist. You just want to prevent young men of color from showcasing their abilities to professional scouts. Once again, your wanting to keep disenfranchised BIPOCs down is showing your racism. It's disgusting.

So when a team loses their best player to a knee injury, they should ppd games? Get over it. We have scholarship players. Teams shouldn't be cancelling games as long as they have 8 available players and a coach. It's that simple. PLAY...THE...DAMN...GAMES!

Then Huggins should earn his several million dollar per year salary have gameplans for just about every conceivable scenario. Losing a player due to ********, Biden regime pressured protocols 2 hours before a game should be a scenario every coach in America is prepared for.

Ok, that's idiotic to say. Maybe 24 hours prior to the game, ok. But a couple of hours and you think any coach can just snap their fingers and come up with a magical game plan to replace their leading scorer? Dang, you must never have played or coached a sport before if you truly believe this.

So you'd accept a coach waving his hands in the air and saying, "welp, I don't know what to do now.," if his best player rolls an ankle 5 minutes into a game? That's a much shorter notice than the ******** covid benchings.

But yes, you should have some sort of plan for when your best player suddenly isn't available. I'd forgive a high school coach this, but Huggins is supposed to be one of the greatest basketball minds in the history of the game and the best coach WVU will ever have according to some posters on here. He should have something ready or be able quickly adjust to any curveball thrown his way...if he's the brilliant, HOF basketball coach many here purport him to be. Instead, he tells Tony that he doesn't know what he's going to do. And I believe that.

Man, you are so full of it. There's ZERO coaches out there that could redo a game plan 2 hours before tipoff. NONE. Teams begin stretching and warming up and shooting 30-45 minutes before the game. Was he supposed to go do a chalkboard session with the guys? Bet he did that. But as far as an in-depth "here's what we are gonna do plan" there wasn't 'any time. Besides, I felt we played fairly well, minus the TO's (which had nothing to do with Taz being out.....I believe 8 of the 20 turnovers were between TWO players).

Interesting to hear what you would have done or changed 2 hours prior to tipoff? I'm sure you'd had a brilliant plan.

Look at the bright side: WVU was likely to lose to Texas in Austin anyway, and TCU's virus problems mean that y'all don't have to play short-handed tomorrow at TCU, a team that a full-strength WVU is more likely to beat on the Road.

Here's Godless cfe co-opting a religion to which 90% of Black Americans adhere in hopes of attacking a defender of Black integrity. What a disgusting person you are. You should be ashamed.

Simple answer to any postponement:
If you can't play the game, you forfeit!

NCAA rule is postponement if you don't have 6 scholarship players and a coach available. Not saying it's fair, just that it is the rule. WVU got hammered because it was forced to play with Taz and Gabe. Texas would have lost to WVU if it went without its top scorer and best defender/rebounder/passer.

20 Turnovers says otherwise.....that's why we lost.

EDIT: If Tazz played, then Bridges doesn't score 18 points because he would not have gotten as many shots.......so we trade potentially 18-22 points and subtract at least 8-12 points. We still lose.
