First and foremost, I hope all players and coaches can stay safe and Covid free, though there are bound to be some positive cases, as we've seen in other sports. Just hope if that happens, it's not serious for anyone involved.EvanJ wrote:What is true for Hofstra and I'm assuming for the whole CAA is that for each travel partners you host one and go to one. Here are the travel partners other than us and Northeastern with the team we host listed first:
W&M and Elon
Drexel and Delaware
Towson and JMU
Charleston and UNCW
Our schedule is:
Saturday and Sunday January 2 and 3: Host W&M
Thursday January 7: Host Northeastern, no other CAA games
Saturday January 9: At Northeastern
Sunday January 10: CAA teams other than us and Northeastern play
Saturday and Sunday January 16 and 17: At Delaware
Saturday and Sunday January 23 and 24: Host Towson
Saturday and Sunday January 30 and 31: At UNCW
Saturday and Sunday February 6 and 7: Host Drexel

It's going to be very interesting to see how these two-game, back-to-backs play out. I don't think it'll be as big of a deal as most would think from a conditioning stanpoint because of the six days of rest between each of those scenarios (for the most part). The conditioning might come more into play from not playing any or very few OOC games before getting into the CAA slate in January. From that perspective, only two CAA teams -- Charleston and Northeastern -- may have a leg up on the rest of the league, as those are the only two CAA teams with OOC games (three each) currently scheduled (though I would guess other CAA teams would be looking to add some OOC games before January, if they can):
11/25: Charleston at North Carolina
12/2: Northeastern at Maine
12/11: South Carolina State at Charleston
12/12: UMass at Northeastern
12/21: Charleston at Georgia State
12/22: Northeastern at Georgia
