MInnesota had positive tests today, since we just played them that could be why this is cancelled.

Naturally a home game gets cancelled.

I believe Michigan State had issues.

Could it possibly be that Michigan St really didn't want to play us.  They lost to us at home.  Don't match up well.  It's senior day which is always big.  They have a couple of players hurt.  Are tied with us in standings.  Have never faired very well in games at Lincoln.  Suzy Merchant who has never been one of my favorites now drops to the bottom of the barrel.

Well, they must have already travelled and in Lincoln since it's a last second announcement.

 

The next game for each team is in one week, next Saturday, 3/6. There should be an opportunity to reschedule if both teams are willing.

The official announcement was made about 15 minutes before the 1 p.m. tipoff of the Huskers' final home game of the season............The Huskers and Spartans tested negative Saturday, but the players were informed around 12 p.m. that the game would not be played, according to Nebraska women’s basketball sports information director Jeff Griesch.

“We will move forward and hopefully have a chance to reschedule our game with Michigan State, but if not, we will get ready for our final regular-season game at Iowa on Saturday.”

 

[HUD]

With both teams testing negative not playing sounds pretty fishy to me.  Feel bad for the players, their families and the coaches.  Maybe they will show up at the Iowa game pissed off.

[All About the Corn]

I would think both called it off after confirming with the B1G. Considering MN has cases and we just played them. MSU has their VB and Gymnastics shutdown due to CV so they maybe thinking it is a bigger problem. Just the times we are in. What will be interesting to see come B1G, NCAA, WNIT tourneys when a team gets CV. Would think you just have to move on if possible. Could be some teams move on that may not normally do so.
