Need to see these COVID teams play every other day or even back to back

Looks like now the Hawks have to play every other day and meet OSU 2 days later, but at least both are at home. Any chance CJ can be back?

Having only a 1 day prep for OSU definitely sucks. We do have the advantage with MSU as they have a game on Sunday.

We should be in some kind of offensive rhythm but tired and that hurts on the defensive end

These guys used to play several games a day when competing on the AAU circuit. They're in the best shape of their lives. Fatigue shouldn't be an issue. Offense comes naturally to most of these guys. Defense is a matter of will and desire.

This will test the teams mental fitness. A lot of travel during that stretch now. I'm not as worried about physical fitness as I am mental fitness. Taxing for some of these kids with the constant travel. Will be a test every game to be 100% locked in as a team at tipoff.

Well, the Hawks don’t really play defense, so.........

 

[Hawksfor3]

Do you ever sleep @Franisdaman ? 😂

 

[Whinny]

So let me get this straight: The Hawks will have to be playing 4 games in 10 days because other teams aren't careful about following COVID protocols? What's wrong with this picture???

Tough break but it's a strange season and this stuff was expected to happen.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

As a fan, I love it. Selfishly I wish Iowa played every night

its possible Wisconsin could play Debbie twice & Iowa play them 0 times

I'm not worried about physical fitness - especially since they don't have to travel between games, but moreso the scouting/prep work for OSU. Have to imagine that won't be as thorough as usual.

It's a tough break, but not dissimilar to that one year that Iowa had to reschedule it's game against IU because a couple ceiling tiles fell down or whatever it was. Iowa then had to play a brutal stretch that sent them into a tailspin and never recovered from.

At least this time the first two games are at home and Iowa has a chance to have normal rest before the next game.

What’s your proposal?

 

[Franisdaman]

What’s your proposal?

I just hope all the main contenders get their 20 games in & that we crown a reg season champion
