Nebraska Basketball team activities have been paused

[hskr4life]

Here's what I am thinking for make-ups right now...

 

Maryland, Illinois, Purdue, and Minny could all become back-to-back day doubleheaders and then it'd be easy to squeeze an Iowa game in there somewhere.

Speaking of which...

If so, I wonder how they prioritize the games.

 

By availability I would think. If we can play a makeup game without re-arranging schedules then I think that is what they will roll with

Looks like that February 3rd return is now the 6th. Had to accommodate a Michigan State rescheduled game against Iowa. Would be nice if they found someone to play on the 3rd. Penn state is now playing Wisconsin on January 30th which would’ve been against us.

It's possible the team wouldn't meet the Big Ten 7-day rolling average threshold in time for a Feb 3 game, which could be why they pushed it out.

Games?...Games?...We don't need no stinkin' regular season games. Just pencil us in to the tourney now.

Right on Cue, Jimmy!

Lots of good info in this article re: remaining MBB Season!

But while the situation has been an absolute mess for Nebraska, there is some good news.
HuskerOnline.com was told that all NU's positive players are expected to be cleared to return by the end of this week. Several Huskers have already been getting individual work in this week.

HOL has also heard that Hoiberg has recovered as well as could be expected and was even able to return to the basketball offices this week.

As it stands, the Big Ten is expected to hold its conference tournament as scheduled from March 10-14.

That means Nebraska will likely have to play 14/15 games over just 31 days before likely playing in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, which reportedly could be moved from Chicago to Indianapolis.

In other words, buckle up.

That sounds...ominous.

[Red Don]

Does not sound good, but I'm sure he is getting the best medical care available.  At least he is able to return to the Basketball offices.

At this point, I just miss tracking Marist and Delaware State games to find any sliver of hope for Nebraska hoops to make it past Selection Sunday. I'll take whatever Husker hoops I can get my hands on right now.

Hoiberg is back out in public

WBB is Good (and getting Better  )

[jimmykc]

I am always leery when I hear the phrase "as well as could be expected", which might also be used as the motto for this season thus far.

It will help the get the second best player back on the court.

[hhcmatt]

I would say that Michigan St losing at Rutgers 67-37 last night would be an example of bad unpausing

Fingers crossed, this happened while they were away:

I fear having to come back from a covid pause, just to be MSU's "get right" game.  Sucks.

More often than not, a dose of Nebrasketball is just what the doctor ordered for a struggling team.

Now that we have officially pressed play again, I wonder if any of the players are out for this weekends game?

We'll have to see who takes the court with Yvan and Eduardo

[AuroranHusker]

Hoiberg mentioned last night on the "Nebraska Basketball Show" that a couple of players may still be dealing with the health and safety protocol. He didn't say who it was, however.

 

I think Abdelmassih is still in the protocol, from his own recent tweet.
