good story about the schedule from Chad:

 

[Franisdaman]

Some interesting points:

* According to the Big Ten’s schedule release, the conference’s 14 men’s basketball programs will be expected to follow the same protocols developed earlier in the fall, which include
---Daily COVID-19 antigen testing
---Cardiac screening
---Analyzing coronavirus data daily going into practices and games.

* Minnesota recently returned from a five-day pause after some players tested positive for COVID-19.

* Minnesota is still trying to complete their nonconference schedule (they have one more game to add).

Minnesota had a multiple-team event (MTE) planned for Nov. 28-30 at the Barn.
---Eastern Washington backed out so the Gophers are seeking another opponent
---The Gophers and Loyola Marymount still plan on playing..
---A possibility is for the Gophers to play LMU twice if the NCAA accepts a waiver.

So, 25 games follow. The final 2 games are yet to be finalized.

Gophers men's basketball schedule is out, with tough Big Ten slate

The Gophers open the Big Ten season at Illinois on Dec. 15, play their conference home opener against Iowa on Christmas Day and are still hoping to add more nonconference games.

Hopefully the arena will require spectators to provide proof of a negative Covid test within 48 hours of the game, plus digital temp taking and mandatory face coverings.

Hopefully in March fans can attend games.

But now? I don't think we see any more than parents in the stands.

This was in the university's release:

Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, there will be no men’s and women’s basketball general admission single game or season ticket sales to home games at this time

With this schedule, I vote we are automatically in the NCAA tournament.

A large part of being a good FT shooter is having a repeatable routine and form.

Great results for Santa considering his poor lower- body weight distribution

The guys on KXNO are saying that one or two of Iowa's non-con games have been cancelled due to Covid on the visiting teams. I think one of the teams is North Carolina Central, I didn't catch the other possible scatch.

I don’t really see why they would have to cancel the game yet. Goodman reported that NC Central is looking to start practice on Sunday. If they need more time to get ready just keep Southern on that Friday and push NC central to next Sunday. A week should be plenty of time for them to get prepared in practice.

Should be easy to reschedule, google shows them with 2 games for 2020 lol
