GW73,  it seems as if the NCAA allowed everyone(who applied) immediate eligibility. Maybe the COVID pandemic caused the NCAA to be generous with the waivers this year. GW may have been able to get a waiver for Lindo if they wanted, even without a legitimate reason. I saw some of St.John's 3-point win over Rider and Toro never got into the game. St.John's best players/leading scorers appear to be 2 forwards, Julian Champagnie and Vincent Cole, both of them could be keeping Toro on the bench. 

Rhode Island at #13 Wisconsin   4:30  Big 10 Network  -  I believe Wisconsin was scheduled to play another school who had to back out due to COVID and Rhode Island jumped in to play at the last minute. 

Northern Iowa at #19 Richmond   6   ESPN+

To be accurate, what is keeping Toro on the bench is the same reason he was ineffective last year here and relegated to the bench, he unfortunately has never been the same player following his injury (save for a few minutes in OT versus Davidson)..

Maryland getting blown out by a not so good Clemson team.
Their cupcake schedule was as bad as ours - only difference being they won those games and we didn't.

Richmond beat Northern Iowa by 10, but I wanted mention a potential NBA player on their team in sophomore Tyler Burton, he appears to have taken the sophomore leap after being a role player as a freshman. The ESPN announcers took note of his NBA potential during Richmond's win at Kentucky, and he played well again tonight. It could be something to watch as the season goes on, he's about 6-7, athletic and can shoot 3's. 

The other game of the night was seeing Kevin Sumlin, still somehow employed, getting beat by his arch rival, a previously winless Arizona St team, 70-7.

That's no typo, winless Arizona St beat Arizona, 70-7.  Well, they are now a 1 win Arizona St team and I'd imagine Sumlin and the AD will be meeting faster than you can say Inigo Montayo.
 

Completely irresponsible Dude to speculate that this is/could be another Hank Gathers tragedy. Trainers are so much better prepared these days with advanced life saving equipment including AEDs. I am hoping and praying the young man will be fine but let's not even go there until you know the facts.

Collapsed, Rushed to Hospital and in critical condition.

Completely agree GWRising...
Prayers go out to Keyontae Johnson.

LSF and BC,  I agree with you guys, we've heard about heart problems being a possible underlying condition of COVID, especially for athletes. Let's hope that whatever caused Keyontae Johnson to collapse had nothing to do with COVID because if it did, it could be a game-changer when it comes to how all sports proceed. The most recent updates I've seen indicate that Keyontae Johnson is still in a Tallahassee hospital right now(almost 24 hours later) in stable condition, there doesn't seem to be any positive or negative news about his condition. 

UMass vs. Northeastern    right now  - they just played a few days ago, UMass won by double digits. It was UMass' first game of the year

Rhode Island  at Western Kentucky   right now    CBS SportsNetwork

#19 Richmond at #11 West Virginia   1  ESPN   - this may be Richmond's last chance to pick up a big-time win and move up to/stay a top 10 to 15 team for the whole year. 

St.John's at Georgetown   7:30   FS1  -  Toro returns to D.C.!! Maybe he can contribute in knocking off the Hoyas. This was supposed to be UConn at Geogetown, but UConn had COVID issues, so St.John's replaced them

Keyontae Johnson is in a medically induced coma:

Obviously not a good development for this young man. In the article, I was troubled by the family member (grandfather?) comment that they think "he may have some brain activity". Prayers continue for Keyontae.
