2020-21 Basketball Schedule

But no non-con games listed on the website yet?

They're waiting until we've got a finalized schedule is my guess.

They'll release it all at one time and I've heard Friday or Monday.

Apparently two more contracts out for home games that haven't been received back yet.

Welp. We are out of Lincoln and going to Sioux Falls to play in what's left of what was originally the Battle 4 Atlantis.

This is freaking wild

Looks like UNI is switching away from the Nebraska MTE to Sioux Falls.

Per Rothstein: "Sources: Northern Iowa is replacing Texas A&M in the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic in South Dakota."
"Updated Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic bracket:
West Virginia/Northern Iowa
Saint Mary's/Memphis
Creighton/South Dakota State
Utah State/Wichita State"

Hello! I have tickets for the Crossover Classic for Game 5 and Game 12 that I'm looking to sell for face value. I live in Wisconsin and have decided not to make the trip to Sioux Falls anymore. Email me at [email protected] if interested!

I'm not overly surprised we moved on from the Nebraska MTE. This field is loaded. Creighton is preseason #11, WV #15, Memphis barely missed the top 25.

I kinda want Creighton on Friday....

Does anyone know if these games will be televised?

Does anyone know if these games will be televised?

All these games are on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. We've officially signed - the WVU game will be Wednesday at 1 on ESPN.

Rematch against West Va, huh? Alrighty. I just hope there are no over reactions to the results of this tournament. If we go 1-2, it's okay, there's a lot of really good teams here and it's a long year. If we go 3-0, great, it means we're final four bound which we all already knew.

Nick Petaros Twitter feed with some good info today (it's Media Day?). Apparently we turned down this MTE two weeks ago, and everything came together within the last 24 hours to get back in. Also, Gonar Mar's waiver was denied. They've appealed, but don't expect to hear back until after the MTE.

From Petaros' story in the Courier:

"'This all happened in the last 24 hours,' UNI coach Ben Jacobson said Wednesday afternoon. 'This wasn’t something that we were looking for. This opportunity came up two weeks ago when the Sioux Falls tournament had somebody pull out because of COVID. They called us and asked us if we would take their place two weeks ago and I told them no.

'We had given our word to Nebraska, we had our two opponents, they understood that and they moved on and we moved on.'

While Jacobson admitted he wasn't going to go into all the details publicly, he said a little bit of uncertainty surfaced Tuesday with regard to his team's second opponent at the Nebraska event. Later Tuesday, tournament organizers in Sioux Falls randomly called to see if UNI would be interested in taking Texas A&M's place in their field after the Aggies dropped out of their event."

I tell ya what, it is kind of nice to see a top tier event like this reach out to us not once, but twice, even after being rejected the first time. A lot of that may have been logistics, but it shows a lot of respect to our program regardless imo.
