Why not a H-H with Mizzou or KState or ISU? Why does it need to be a neutral site game? Bring them to PBA!

Have it at the Century Link Center, use that floor from the '07 matchup vs Oregon at least a couple more times !!!

Iowa State in KC please!

 

Nebraska's already playing 2 games in KC this year. It's a good idea for the following year....

Sounds like we will be announcing a neutral site game in Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota. And I would presume it would take place at the Premier Center arena or the Sanford Pentagon.

That makes for a really long season if Miles isn't around for it. 

[throwback]

Not to read too much into it, but I can only think of a couple of reasons to play a neutral site P5 game in Sioux Falls -- 1) playing an opponent where we're splitting the difference in travel, Iowa State would be about the only non-conference P5 team that would fit that one - or - 2) we're playing someone who has a player from the Sioux Falls area on its roster and they want to let him play close to home - no idea who that would be, if anyone.

 

25 or 26 High-Major Games

• 20 B1G games
• bluebirds
• Seton Hall
• ACC game
• Neutral site game in Sioux Falls
• 1 or 2 games in KC

So if there's a chance we're playing 2 high major games in KC, that means one of two things -- 1) we have to be playing USC or Tech on the first night. - or - 2) we still don't know who we're playing in KC. I guess the one thing we know for sure is that we haven't been assigned Missouri St for the first night, at least not yet.

 

Additionally, this could mean -- depending on where the ACC game ends up being (possibly in Lincoln, as was mentioned a few weeks ago) -- our longest trips in the non-con will be Sioux Falls & KC with everything else in Lincoln, with the possibility of 0 non-con road games.

Miles stated for quite a while that he wanted to schedule a game at that particular arena. I think I heard it on a Minneapolis radio interview he had a year or two ago....

Probably at the Sanford Pentagon next door.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_Pentagon

 

They've held an early season game there since it opened in 2013, featuring Wisconsin, St John's, Iowa, Iowa State and Colorado among others.  Colorado has played there twice.  It wouldn't surprise me to see us play Iowa State.

I guess adding a neutral game might be a way to appease the Quadrant system. 0 non-con road games doesn't bode well unless we have a very strong home slate.

His twitter timeline is a 50-50 hit rate. He said Gates was coming 5 days before it was announced. He also said erstad was getting fired. I’m closer to Sioux Falls than Lincoln so I hope he’s accurate

The Gates/Nebraska rumor had been going on for about 3 weeks before it became official.

[nustudent]

The Scottsdale account is a complete troll.

And the game is overkill

Dépendant on who the opponent is, it shouldn't hurt us too much if we would falter.

With last year's message out there that quad 1 wins matter and quad 1 losses don't might as well go for it with this squad

Dependant on how we do the rest of the way it could.

 

We already have a damn tough schedule.  It's overreacton to a fluky outlier year last year.   20 conference games and 6 more majors?   That's damn near unreal for a regular season.  

 

Whether it is basketball scheduling or anything else, I'm never a fan of making things harder than they need to be.

We weren't going to have a shortage of those types of opportunities this year.   And everything corrects itself in time.   

[MichHusker]

Maybe Marquette? Somewhat in the middle of both schools 

[kleitus]

Yeah maybe it is overkill

 

If it pays off you could be looking at a 3 seed instead of an 8 or 9

 

Win the games you play and stop worrying about it.

ACC/B1G will very likely be a road game for us.
