I appreciate the positive outlook for the Bills but this seemed like a HS Soph writing a paper for people who rarely watch basketball That’s classless Skip... at least he cared enough to write something, unlike some of our so called professional’s in the past...

The Illinois St reporter calls it a “MTW Tourney” and that “the first round matchups aren’t known yet” if it is I guess UNI is our first round matchup? Who knows... No matter who the opponents end up being, excited that we are so close to real games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just SLU fans who want to go to games is the exact same statement JK of course but there was a time when you could count on both hands the number of fans at the game under 60. billiken_roy and Box and Won like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has sent their plan to the City for allowing a certain number of fans to attend games and is discussing the situation daily with the city.

SLUMedBilliken15 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Below is what I have compiled for the 2020 nonconference schedule: 11/25: Northern Iowa cancelled 11/26 or 11/27: Golden Window MTE opponent (Nebraska, W. Kentucky, San Francisco, or Nevada) 11/28: LSU 12/8: Central Arkansas (source: https://ucasports.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball) 12/12: Evansville (https://gopurpleaces.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/2020-21) 12/15: Indiana State (source: https://gosycamores.com/news/2020/9/28/sycamore-basketball-adds-saint-louis-to-2020-21-slate-lose-dayton-due-to-covid-19-changes.aspx) 12/20: Minnesota (https://gophersports.com/news/2020/11/18/mens-basketball-gopher-basketball-announces-2020-21-schedule.aspx) Date unknown: UMKC That leaves us with 1-2 possible additional games to fill for the nonconference schedule. Anyone have any insights into the remaining schedule?

Just using the Top 144 listing, NE would be the weakest of those 3, although I don't know if it would be considered an away game. Actually, it might not even matter since how the Selection Committee views all the crazy OOC, and even in Conference, W's and L's is a big unknown. For example what happens to a Big 10 middle of the pack team who would normally make the Dance, but because of the restrictive COVID Q rules has 8 games cancelled?

Why would you use requiring when measures haven't been put into place requiring them at this point? Threatening's second definition is "Indicating or suggesting the approach of possible trouble or danger".

If the region doesn't get our numbers down you will definitely see more closures and restrictions. At least we don't have football games to celebrate.

The first definition of "threatening" I saw was to make a hostile or deliberate frightening manner. The second definition is intention to cause harm. Third is causing someone to feel vulnerable or at risk. Krewson's possible actions are far from being hostile. I was just wondering why Hoosier chose the word threatening.
