Our First Cancellation?

Would this be too short of notice?

Good thing I pivoted those HHCC predictions to percentages. Might have been staring at some pitchforks after this

It looks like they've found a replacement to one opponent:

Also wonder if we get cancelled, if there’d be any way to get USF to come up here....

UNO?  That would be 3 games in 4 days for them.

We are Nebraska...the Big 10 would find some way to say no we don't get a make up game.  There's a lot of discussion (jumping to football for a second) of OSU getting a make up game of some sort of one of their games gets cancelled as the Big 10 wants to guarantee that OSU plays in the Big 10 championship. I've seen a rumor that it might even be Nebraska again just to give them both their make up game.

Have to get a non-Walker non-conference game in to make sure he's eligible for as many B1G games as possible.

Isn't St. Thomas D1 this year? Surely Fred has some "markers" he can call in. We KNEW this was going to happen, know just roll with the punches. I even heard some speculation today about having limited fan seating at the Michigan game on Christmas. Not sure how prudent that is, but if allowed I'm sure I would attend...

We built in a 10 day buffer between Creighton and Wisconsin to schedule any new games. We could potentially move our matchup with Florida A&M there or else find a new team to play.

Oregon is in town and is looking for games. They play Seton Hall tonight but have put out the word that they would be up for another game.

What is UC Riverside up to these days?

Just got the text from UNL that it's cancelled.

Dana Altman has come out and said they're willing to play anyone in the Omaha area if their game gets cancelled. How can we pass up the opportunity to play Oregon Sunday if it's sitting right there in front of us?

Wonder how they structured these non-con contracts - does the contract force the two teams to try to reschedule, or once one team has a covid issue, does that void the contract?

 

NU is referring to it as a 'cancellation', so that would indicate it's not going to be pushed to that open week, but hard to know for sure without knowing what the contract language looks like.

Funny story— believe they beat up on Washington the other day.  Don’t know that we want a piece of them.  

[hskr4life]

I could see us not wanting to play Oregon as that’d make a reallllllllly tough 3 games in 6 days.

Probably going to do more good for our team right now to focus on themselves then try and rapidly prep for a game in a day or two 

[Nebrasketballer]

Making sure to replace any cancelled non-conference games means that Walker won’t have to miss an additional Big Ten game. I think it would be wise to schedule another game to replace Florida A&M.
