Iowa-Nebraska Game Postponed
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
Another damn good opponent for experience and a metric boost regardless.
I was gonna make the same point. Nebraska shut down the B10 tournament. Did they ever say if that was officially Covid?
No they suck. Drake would beat them.
Let's reach out to Gonzaga and see if we can get a rematch?
Or can we just skip Nebraska and play two against Michigan?
They’ve postponed 5 games so far due to Drake.

These should be forfeits, far too many shitty teams dodging games and not caring about taking proper safety precautions.
Just look at the clones,
Iowa State football doesn’t have any problems all year and a smaller group of basketball players suddenly can’t play, sure.

Difference between a good team caring and a crappy team not caring.
Couldn’t agree more! Especially when coaching bonuses upwards of $750k are on the line.. which is why I wished they would have announced a tournament field last year despite not being played.
Yep, after looking at both schedules right after the game with MSU was postponed, I had suggested that Tuesday Jan 26th was probably the best available date. Now, it is even better for the Hawks.
Seriously, Nebraska should be shut down by the league. They're a danger to the rest of the teams.
Start filling in with teams that only play eachother once.
Coach K said he didn't want to play any more non-conference games after losing in the Big Ten-ACC or shortly after.
As others said, I'd rather play Drake than Duke. Drake is better at the moment.
Literally... they only hurt everyone's SOS, especially when you know someone will lose to them.
Also not a bad idea.
Would be far more beneficial for Drake but I'm fine with that.
This is ridiculous. Fred knew what Covid presented. He knew he didn’t have a good team! No one would have blamed him for sitting out the entire year due to his heart issues. Covid wouldn’t be the problem in this situation, it’d be Fred’s decision making!
Nah, screw that.
Iowas the best team in the country right now.
I want to see this team play as many games as possible.
Agreed. Honestly, I'm glad it's Nebraska that cancelled and not Ohio State or Illinois. This is the one year I want to see Iowa play as many of the best teams in the league as possible.
No seriously engage in this! This guy has more money than any human would ever need for him and his kids to live an incredible life.. he knew what Covid is! Don’t be a flip flopper now..
Maybe he wanted to be there for his team and now he is sick and there is a new strain here just recently that is 50% more contagious?
Exactly.
Winning the league doesn't mean as much this year with the unbalanced schedules and uneven amount of games.
I just want to see this awesome once in a lifetime group play as many games as I can.
Haha come on... if the risk of being there for your team is worth a potential 40 extra years on this earth I don’t think we should be giving him a pass.. I’m actually on your side with the Covid shit.. you know this is a pathetic excuse for quitting a season.
total clown show by Hoiberg. There does seem to be correlation between lax covid protocols and chitty basketball.
Hope they make Nebraska reschedule every game. They won’t win so even if playing benchwarmers make them play so teams can get their wins and move onto the next game. Who cares if Nebraska has to play 3 games a week.
Hoiberg did NOT have Covid last march. He did however put a big enough scare in the league office to cancel the BIG tourney...
Hoiberg tested positive for flu and not covid19 at BigTen Tournament
