AFAIK, Indiana is the only home game over the break...that's actually quite an improvement over past years.

I think he got the 1st-pick-in-the-NBA-draft-played-ahead-of-him treatment!

The Only Podcast: Basketball! - The Only Colors http://www.theonlycolors.com/2014/11/4/7155465/the-only-podcast-basketball In a special edition pod, Joe Tuohey and Alex Cook from MGoBlog preview the upcoming Big Ten Basketball season SPOILER ALERT: Joe does not agree with KenPom's projections. http://failure.me/2014B1GBBallPreview.mp3 (1:21:31) (ed. They go through the conference in alphabetical order, the Nebraska portion of the podcast starts at the 38:45 mark)

Interesting top 6 rotation. No Shields, but we have two Riverses, apparently.

The only problem with that is only the students are the ones on break. the other 95% of the crowd will be there regardless of when the game is being played. Thats why this will not change. You don't make a change to affect the small minority. You don't think people other than students leave town on the holidays? The Indiana game on New Year's Eve terrifies me. Fans of big-time programs make their plans around games; they don't attend games based on their plans. Nebraska football is this way. Nebraska basketball should, too.

Not sure what the advantage would be for us as a program but one disadvantage would be that we would likely be shifting RPI killers to the back half of our schedule at a point in time where we really are wanting to make a run. Contrast that with the "Bracket Buster" challenge played late in the year, the purpose of which was to allow mid-majors to strengthen their schedules as they approached Selection Sunday. So, if we move Ohio State to December, are we going to be playing Incarnate Word in February?
