13th&Jackson Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 IU's season has been on the razor's edge of COVID. IU plays PSU, then PSU shuts down and has postponed 4 games, not playing since. IU plays NEB, then NEB shuts down. If the game against PU happens tonight, IU will play the last team to play MSU before MSU shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to play you do what you have to in order to play. 3 weeks off or 3 games a week Nice to play tough guy, but when your team misses the tourney because some goofball forced it to play 3-4 games in a week, don't come crying to the Board lol. Seriously though, aint happening, as much tough guy talk as people want to push on a message board. Edit, unless you're PSU apparently hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, aint happening, as much tough guy talk as people want to push on a message board. Edit, unless you're PSU apparently hahahahaha Still interested in your take on how you think not making up games at all is more fair than playing 3-4 times in a week. If you don't want to go back, my question was how would you like it if Purdue & IU were in the running for the last slot in the tourney from the Big Ten. Purdue had games @Iowa and @ Michigan cancelled, while IU had home games against Nebraska and Minnesota cancelled. You don't think Archie would have rather played a 4 game week in that scenario? Granted, Matt Painter would probably be against it. But, the point is that not making up games at all will lead to more of an unfair situation than asking teams to put their big boy pants on for a week or two and play some games on short rest.

5fouls Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Indiana Women's basketball has/had the following stretches on the schedule. December 17, 20. & 23 January 4, 7, & 10 February 4, 7, & 10 February 21, 24, & 27 That is the ORIGINAL schedule. No make-ups to be found on that list.

Not saying, never said games should not be made up at all. All games should be made up, but it's the better course to work the schedule so that no team is penalized.

No make-ups to be found on that list. i think we got lost in the discussion of number of games where we kept saying 3-4 games -- it's really 4 that is the outlier. Generally you can have games such as from IU's schedule Jan 4, 7, 10. You don't have Jan 4, 6, 7, 9 etc in college basketball. You never responded to the simple point that, in the NBA schedule, which you tout, the team playing back to back games generally loses those games. The NBA schedule is 80-plus games, whatever it will be this year in a Covid environment, and, generally, everyone has back to backs, no one, generally, is penalized. The very basic, simple point here is that in men's college basketball, where the schedule is much shorter and especially in conference just about every game matters come tourney selection time (God help me -- no, not calling you God 😮 -- is there even a single game where someone here doesn't post it as a "must win" game?), if you stick a team with a heavier weekly schedule than everyone or almost everyone else, that team just got put at a real disadvantage. No, I don't want IU to have extra games in a week. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, as we get to the latter part of the season, there will be games impacted where it will virtually be impossible to make them up. for example, if Purdue has an outbreak right before our 3/6 matchup in Mackey, how would that game even get made up? The regular season is over. Another reason why the Big Ten should try very hard to make up as many games as possible right now, even if that leaves some teams with less than ideal schedules.

Hopefully that gets avoided. It's a wacky season all around, but it's important to work the schedule, including pushing back the B1G tourney and/or NCAA tourney, etc., to avoid disadvantaging teams.

Everything should have been extended 2-3 weeks. Build in lighter schedules at the end of the scheduled regular season to help avoid scheduling issues. Conference tourneys should all be in bubbles, with teams arriving 3-4 days in advance to help avoid outbreaks. Some team, somewhere is going to get screwed out of a NCAA tournament appearance because they have an outbreak at the wrong time. The NCAA could have done more in that regard.

Well I've been notified off line that this post was a Stupid, cheap shot swipe at another poster and should never be done like that towards someone who is a mod. My next error will be the ban hammer. So I thought I should correct myself and make it more clear and specific, easier to understand. From the first 5-6 post I ever read from HoosierHoopster, I knew right off that he and I could not agree on about 99% of any things that came up going forward. That has come to be proven correct. I don't like this and I want to be able to see other peoples points of view. It just saddens me, that I already have a predisposition that I automatically discount his post before ever reading them. I need a support group I think, it shouldn't bee this way. I apologize for being Stupid and taking a cheap shot in prior first post. I hope this helps.

It has been obvious that guys who know very little about bball like Scott, Rico, IUFLA, KoB, and Hoosier Hoopster jump on literally everything I post because they don't like any critical comments or pessimism, but when things get really bad, they are actually more negative than I am! Also a shame that just like in any media these days, only the popular opinions are allowed. Seems like a mod shouldn't push his weight around to agree with only select posters instead of just making sure inappropriate language isn't used, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
