Staying Flexible

As COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the season the Cougars got a first hand experience when the second game of the season at Westminster was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. As the season continues the Cougars will have to continue to be flexible with game plans and travel schedule in order to play as many games as possible this season with the best chance to reach the RMAC tournament. In late November, the RMAC released information about the season structure and return-to-play guidelines for basketball. All teams will have a 22-game conference schedule (non-conference play being optional), and any game that is not played due to COVID-19 issues will be declared a "no contest." All student-athletes and team support staff must test negative within 72 hours of the game, and in the state of Colorado, everyone in the arena will wear a mask except for the 10 active players on the court. An RMAC champion will be declared if at least five teams complete 50 percent of their originally approved schedule (11 games). The champion and RMAC Tournament qualifiers will be determined by use of the NCAA Division II RPI system.
