So Tenn. St. may be a "no show" for Friday (and no doubt Thursday). MU Coaches and Athletic Officials are going to have to be PROACTIVE and diligent during this COVID infected season vis-à-vis scheduling, IMO.
An example. MTSU was suppose to open with Louisville down in Murfreesboro but apparently has a COVID issue. Notified Louisville and the Cards coach immediately got active on Social Media, put out if anyone had an opening on the 25th to contact him as the CARDS were willing to travel! BINGO!! SE Missouri State folks said "come on down", or "out" so now both Louisville and SEMO have a game, the latter a HOME game at that with a "MAJOR" Power!! The minute that MU finds that Tenn. State wont play, start looking around. Can schools like Morehead, EKU, VMI, Radford use or need another game and have an opening on Friday?
Be proactive instead of passive! Basketball needs to learn from our Football experience this season that schools have to look out FOR NUMBER ONE!! DAMN Obvious that schools like MU can't rely on the NIMRODS running things in the league office to actually care and look out for their conference teams/members BEST INTERESTS!!
