Exception

File /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cbbpy/mens_scraper.py:463, in get_game_ids(date)
    453 def get_game_ids(date: str) -> list:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'strftime'

Expected behavior

The function should be able to accept a properly formatted date as a string and return a list of all the game IDs on that day
