There is a tradition at Taylor University, a small NAIA school in Indiana, where the entire crowd sits in complete silence until the men’s basketball team scores its 10th point of the game and sets off a wild celebration.
Thanks to the scourge of COVID-19, there will be no Silent Night game this year. Only silence.
The game has been played on the Friday before finals week for decades, but the pandemic forced the university to call it off this year.
