Just an example of how COVID is affecting college basketball from the get go. According to the Weds H-D Media papers, Arkansas State will play both MU and then Coppin State on Thanksgiving Day. Duke was suppose to play in one of those big tournaments to start the season but they are no longer in it. So they will open their season on Saturday against, . . . . can you guess, Coppin State. Herd fans can get an season "comparison", for what its worth!!
