Huskers to Play in Golden Window Classic **Update**

[Nebrasketballer]

So since St Louis snd LSU are both out and LSU was scheduled to play WKU on Thanksgiving...I’m assuming Nebraska will play WKU on Thanksgiving instead?

I'd infer that our city's/state's lack of control of Covid is the issue.

It could also be that they would need to state a reason to withdraw so they don't have to pay a penalty or something like that.

 

It's not like St. Louis/Missouri is doing any better.  But, whatever.  Now they don't have to stoop to playing against the "worst program in the history of college basketball" any more.

Is Wayne State busy? Peru, possibly?

[REDZONEDAN]

Banton possibly getting a chance to play against his former team.

Someone shut the damn window before another leaves!

Golden Window Classic

 

How it started

 

How it's going

[hskr4life]

My goodness-- COVID is everywhere right now.  Playing the games in Missouri isn't any "safer" than Nebraska.  Honestly, how close are we to just shutting down college athletics for a while?  Probably closer than many think.

If there’s one trend that’s a little scary at the moment, it’s that I’ve seen a lot more teams pulling out of tournys than scheduling them... so the chances of us losing more teams are much higher than adding a team or two.

 

Maybe it’s time for AD’s just to start tweeting out open dates like some HS ADs are!  Only half joking.

And Here, just When we Thought we had a Schedule. SLU does this to us!!!

At this rate we're just going to scrimmage ourselves a few times and call it an event.

As long as we can get two teams to show up, we should be good.

Home and home with wesleyan.

I am down if 4 other HHC members want to form a team to play in the event.  I am not tall or fast and way past any athletic prime but I can be Brad Davidson lite.  I also have 4 years of eligibility left so a strong showing and some team to the East may throw $100K my way!

Well it was a good idea to begin with. Would it look bad if we left Nevada and Chadren State to play a double-header and We joined the tournament in South Dakota?

Sounds like we’re looking for replacements four our tournament when we should be looking at replacing someone elsewhere.

[hskr4life]

I will say that it’s a big joke that we’re less than a week out and teams can just drop with no penalty.  I could see dropping and staying home because Covid, but not dropping and going to another state.

[TheKamdyMan]

Hopefully they can scramble and get some teams. We lose out on those two games if we aren’t unable to get a MTE played with the rules this season.

This. It is a load of crap that teams can bail last minute for another tournament. And if they point to Covid as the reason, the teams that are going to SD don't have a leg to stand on.

Good thing HHCC switched over to winning percentage predictions...

I hear Red is pretty good.

[Nighthawk]

Do we have enough in shape people here that still have some eligibility to put a team together?
