I like that Nebraska played Colorado. That is a much more meaningful exhibition game.

It has to be fun for these small schools to come in an play the big boys but games that don't count against good competition allows you to really experiment.
 
Why would IL even consider playing such a small school? Serms weird, not even as good as a scrimmage against a halfway decent team AND someone could have been injured.
 
And it's not like there's a 5 game exhibition preseason or anything, which would still be meaningless. It's just one game that doesn't count against a bad team where most coaches still play their starters significant minutes. Am I missing something?

This is why I don't like the meaningless exhibition games. Best to just sit your key players for them. Hopefully it wasn't serious.

It wasn’t serious from what people are saying. I only noticed because he only played 4 minutes the other night.

I know they changed the redshirt rule in football so freshmen could play a few games and still redshirt. I don’t know if basketball has updated their redshirt rule yet so guys can play in the regular season and still redshirt? It’s really the only purpose I can think of.

Still would like to see better opponents in these games. And coaches don’t have to worry about taking a loss. No reason you can’t schedule a tough game that fans would want to see.

Don't know the exact score of Rutgers scrimmages, but it has been reported they beat Villanova and UConn. Beat Nova by double digits and UConn by 9.

That was a good team. They are 66-6 in their last 72 games and have five former D-1 players. They had no fear.

Frazier is fine. Full go at practice this week. Damonte Williams and Austin Hutcherson missed the game. Curbelo was awful. He had 14 points and 12 assists and…10 turnovers. Love the Utah transfer. Great shooter.

Plummer the Utah transfer was a pretty good player in the Pac 12. Watched a bunch of his games. Kid can really shoot.

Starters generally don’t play significant minutes unless you consider 15-20 minutes significant.

Ticket $$. After a Covid year with limited revenues, the UI DIA needs the cash. You can play a "secret scrimmage" against a better team but can't sell tickets for those.
 
I know these are exhibition games, but some of those scores are disturbing. I know McCaffery likes to win those games. We all remember how we felt after the Augustana game.
