This has to be one of the very few games affected by Covid this season. I mean, its 2023 now!
Labeling the reason for postponement as "Covid and injuries"? Sorry, but F* that!
Does Iowa get to replay those games, that ended up as losses, that Kris & Connor were out with injury?! OFC they don't, nor does any other team in the nation that stumbled through similar circumstances.

UCONN women had a game postponed earlier this year because they couldn't field a team due to injuries. So yes, that is also a thing.
UConn-DePaul women's game postponed due to No. 5 Huskies' lack of players
No. 5 Connecticut's game Sunday vs. DePaul has been postponed because the Huskies will not be able to suit up seven scholarship players.

@TheTruthTheWholeTruth why are you laughing at this? UConn had 6 players against DePaul so they postponed the game. Some of you dipshits might want to get out more.
So, you're ok with Covid positive people coughing, breathing and spitting in your face?
Didn't think so.
But, hey, lets subject the Iowa team to this. You know, the Iowa team which is down to 9 scholarship players with PMac and Ogundele out.
What a crock of manure.
Do you even know the rules?
Maybe you should do a google search and educate yourself before you post. Period.
Agree Fran. Not sure why some of you guys are so up in arms about this? If it’s the same as the flu (which half of you claim it is) and that’s fine, and they had 7 guys with the flu would you want them all trying to play throwing up and passing it around? It’s a freaking basketball game. Let the kids heal and play when available. I sure hope @JRHawk2003 can get over his outrage over this. Pretty sure it’s another conspiracy to keep us from winning the league again. 😏🤛
It is college basketball. Field a team of faculty to represent Northwestern, i don't care. Oh, that's right it's semi pro ball now.
Simple solution for this make Northwestern players wear masks and use hand sanitizer after each possession
God forbid you were inconvenienced because a game wasn’t played on the originally scheduled date.
It's not outrage.
I just don't see why we make allowances for this now when no one did for a long long time.
They can't field a team? They lose. Too bad. So sad.
Sorry Mr NCAA lawyer....
It should be treated as illnesses were pre-COVID, as anyone who isn’t hysterical and looks at statistics would agree, buddy.
How many league games were cancelled because of the flu in the past? How many players who weren’t showing heavy symptoms were tested for the flu because someone else on the team had it? 😂
Iowa right now has 9 sholarshp players available. And if there were a covid outbreak within the Iowa team, I am sure everyone NOW saying that Northwestern should forfeit would ALSO SAY THAT IOWA WOULD NEED TO FORFEIT AS WELL.
Not. The rules are different for Iowa, gawd damn it!
And if Iowa can't field a team because of a covid outbreak? Iowa should forfeit? Too bad, so sad???
JFC
Yes. If it came to it. There isn't slack in the schedule to do these things. Where does it stop?
have teams ever had a game postponed because of a flu outbreak or RSV or the common cold? For vaccinated AND previously infected 18-24 year olds, it’s no different. Finally, all of our immune systems are no longer naive to SARS-Cov2. This should be a non issue. Play some walk ons if you have to
I used to go to work with the flu. So did my employees. And we got each other sick and ended up losing more time in the end. If COVID had taught us one thing it should be STAY HOME if you are sick. No one wants your illness.
Lets say you are at your gym and you are really fit & are about to play some pick up basketball.
The team you are about to face tells you, "Just so know, we all have covid. 2 of us start coughing really bad after a couple trips up and down the court, so we'll probably have plenty of stuff flying in your face while playing. But, hey, we're young and you're probably vaccinated, so who the f cares, right? Oh, and since everybody else left, we will be PLAYING EACH OTHER FOR A COUPLE HOURS! Let's hoop man!"
Do you play for the next 2 hours or not? We all know you will, but I just want to verify and make sure you are consistent on this issue.
Not a single message of, I hope the kid who has COVID is ok?
How is Iowa having to play 3 games in 5 days, versus 2 games in 5 days not disadvantaged?
I don’t understand that thinking
NET rankings would go up since Iowa would win the game by a score of 2-0 and move to 13-6 overall and 5-3 in conference.
The only reason to reschedule is so Iowa season ticket holders would get another home game. Iowa can put the win in the win column tonight and move on if it wants to. The B1G rules on Covid are crystal clear.
So you are saying these patients died FROM CoVid, with no other co morbidities, and not WITH CoVid from another cause of death…?
Maybe you can explain the exact circumstances of each for us mouth breathers….?
So, you wouldn't play against the team with covid. You'd forfeit, and walk away.
Yet you want Iowa to play against Northwestern.
Hypocrite much?
Why would jNWN play their guys that have clinical CoVid? their not going to travel kids with clinical covid.
its on jNWN to play with non clinically positive kids, yes?
did Northwestern publicly state how many scholarship players are not positive?
I’ve not heard anything on # of clinically positive, # positive but asymptomatic, Or # that are negative but have been in ‘close contact’ , or # that have have CoVid in past and are now in a, b, or c.
