I do not work at Johns Hopkins, but I have been in my share of meetings and conference calls with President-level administrators and have talked with colleagues who have done the same and seriously, there is no way Hopkins made the decision based on one student case at Yeshiva and the hotel incident.

This is Johns Hopkins being risk averse.

And now they pushed both games at JHU back an hour. Not really a big deal, but seems strange to be moving game times the day of the game.

I would think that the only concern that is caused by moving the tipoff time back an hour is that they're on the clock to get Yeshiva back to its hotel after the conclusion of the game. Dunno what time the sun sets in Baltimore this afternoon, but that -- and not the basketball game itself -- is the overriding concern of Yeshiva, as it should be.

6:05 pm; they'll be OK.

It just seems to get more puzzling.  If you have no crowds to worry about why the delay?

By the by, the University of Washington cancelled classes through March 30 with the hope of moving instruction online.  This is how colleges and universities think.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but very surprising to see former Georgetown great Michael Sweetney sitting on the bench as an assistant for Yeshiva. Pretty cool.

Ryan Turell with 23 in the first half and it's all Maccabees at the break, 51-30.

WUPHF

So, safe to say that Yeshiva will make it back to the hotel in time. Wow!

#191
nice defense by RPI on the final possession and they take down New England College in a squeaker 58-57.

Susquehanna knocks off Benedictine by 5.

Elmhurst put a hurting on Lycoming by 24 points. John Baines was able to clear his bench and rest his rotation players a bit.

Whew. That was a nice game. Colby game back strong. I think the end to the comeback was when they tried to full court press the Captains. CNU ate that up.

CNU beats #12 Colby 74-64
