throwback Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 So glad the B1G is so concerned about athlete wellness & safety that they take a team that had 3 weeks with no team activities and throw them out there for 7 games in 12 days. Probably the smart thing to do would be to reduce the schedule by a few games rather than force this disaster. I get it, though. The B1G f-ed up the football schedule so badly and had so many canceled games that they lost a lot of cash from their TV partners, so they have to give TV the full slate in hoops to try to make up the difference. Coach Fred talked on last night's pregame how beat up a few players are already after this condensed attempt to return to play - I'm guessing we'll have a few more walking wounded after playing 5 times in 7 days. Without using the words, he basically said they're having to use load management. If a college team has to use load management in mid-February, it might be a pretty stupid scheduling decision ... especially for a league that has been touting how much it values player safety for the past several months. Plus they're making us travel to the most difficult place to reach on the planet in State College, PA during this stretch. Hope if we leave Saturday morning we can make it in time for tipoff. Good times. NUtball and Bugeaters1 2 Quote

Wasn't Hoiberg reported saying he's hoping to get all our postponed games rescheduled? If so, there's just not a lot of ways to get that done in this final month. A back-to-back Maryland game makes sense to me. Quote
jimmykc Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 At least we'll be playing to snap the opponent's winning streak tonight instead of helping to break their losing streak. Perhaps that will work. But I am doughtful. Quote

hhcmatt Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 Not sure about the players but publicly Hoiberg has been keen on making up these games so I'd say our athletic department is working lockstep with the conference to get it done. Guys get injured when they're fatigued so hopefully we can avoid major injuries as we navigate this last month. Quote

jimmykc Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 Back from the Pinnacle. It proved to be a real shot in the arm, so hopefully the game tonight will turn out to be the same for the basketball program. I thought I might be able to remain in one of the seats as a cardboard spectator but was a bit too meaty. Red Rum, Nebrasketball1979, Bugeaters1 and 4 others 4 1 2 Quote
brfrad Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 I know we play to win, but at some point, we are going to have to get the main players off their feet tonight. Max them out at 20 minutes. Quote
