2016 Gavitt Games - and Nebraska is not participating this year

[AuroranHusker]

 

The field for the 2016 Gavitt Games is set, multiple sources told CBS Sports on Wednesday.

 

Official dates and times are still to be determined but here's the matchups:

 

Seton Hall at Iowa

 

Villanova at Purdue

 

Maryland at Georgetown

 

Rutgers at DePaul

 

St. John's at Minnesota

 

Providence at Ohio State

 

Wisconsin at Creighton

 

Northwestern at Butler

Teams not participating: Nebraska, Xavier, Marquette, Indiana, Michigan St, Illinois, Michigan, Penn St.

[AuroranHusker]

Why would there be any teams from the BE not participating?  Only 8 of the 14 B1G teams are in it due to 2 BE teams sitting out.

 

And Miles is likely in favor of opting out of facing the defending champ (Nova) as NU will be playing the team that had been #1 before the big dance (KU) on the road in December of 2016..

Here my prediction on winner of each game noted in red.  I've got it a draw at 4 games each.

 

Seton Hall at Iowa  (Seton Hall)

 

Villanova at Purdue (Villanova)

 

Maryland at Georgetown (Leaning towards Maryland but pretty even game)

 

Rutgers at DePaul (DePaul)

 

St. John's at Minnesota (Minnesota but both teams are really bad)

 

Providence at Ohio State (Ohio State)

 

Wisconsin at Creighton (Creighton)

 

Northwestern at Butler (Northwestern)

It's an eight game series every year. There will always be teams that don't play from each conference.

I know that - the point is: why isn't it 10?

Their loss!  (Not having us participate)

Miles had mentioned a month ago on his coach's show that we would not be participating this year.

It's fine if we don't participate this season but we better get a home game the next time we do participate since we gave up a home game last season to play Villanova.
