Maybe the Big 10 needs to rethink their basketball scheduling strategy

[Jurgey]

Aren't we supposed to be in the same division?  I would think we would play our division opponents twice.

[Silverbacked1]

Well that does cut down on those horrible bus rides.

 

Not like taking a "cheaper" plane ride.

No divisions in basketball. Only football has divisions... at least for now.

[49r]

Other single-plays for 2014 are Minnesota, Wisco, and Michigan State.

F IOWA!!!

So much hatred, so little time....

Interesting scheduling.  I am okay with the schedule, but it seems strange that we are not doubling up on some of the teams that are in our "neighborhood."

Precicely.  Now that we only play them once next year (barring a meeting in the B1G tourney), we're gonna need to double down on the hate.

 

 

Which I'm perfectly okay with...

The next question is do we play them at the Pinnacle Palace or at that dump called Carver Hawkeye?

I heard on Omaha sports radio today, the Huskers single plays will be at Iowa,at Michigan St and Minnesota and Wisconsin at home.

[Handy Johnson]

Does that mean our "storied" rivalry with Rutgers goes down twice? Oh how I long for the symmetry of playing 7 other teams home & home, all within hating/driving distance.

From the guys who brought you "Legends and Leaders".....

To be fair the B1G is cultivating Leaders and, um, something about Legend's Sports Bar. Sorry I tune out during those commercials.

Iowa Schmiowa.

Honestly never got the hate for Iowa. They're never good at anything but wrestling.

Exactly, yet they think they are which is why people hate them.  They have never done anything but act like they are awesome.

 

Actually, I don't really get the hate either.  It is kind of like making fun of a disable child.
