Time for Coach Ford and AD May to get really innovative in setting up some games.

I was just coming on here to suggest maybe we set up a game with SIU to fill in for the one they're looking for. The Salukis had a good win over Murray State last night and are 3-0 on the year. Looks to me like something the Bills should consider to at least make up for the game we just lost.

I don’t understand why we’re not playing SIU this year.

Let’s keep holding out for that top 15 game.

the program hasn’t been proactive enough on the scheduling front.

There should be a ready list of teams looking for games this weekend. Call them all right now and find one that agrees. Start with the schools located within 300 miles...

[BilliKat]

Agreed. I would think there has to be an easy way to make games happen when there is usually one healthy team in each of these occurrences looking to play...

Bradley currently is in a 10 day gap in games. They dont play until the 17th.

The Aces played Eastern Illinois on Wednesday Dec 9.  The article seems to indicate the positive was during a Dec 2 game against UT Martin.

If this is the reason the game was postponed, it doesn’t make sense.  I would think there has to be something else.

That article didn’t say they aren’t playing today because of that exposure (unless I read it wrong). I assume they had someone test positive today. 

If the game has been cancelled because of possible exposure against an opponent that played a total of two minutes...that’s overkill and should have been decided two days ago.

That was a few days ago ....The game before that  ....Dec2... UT Martin ...was the only game they played last week.

Good news, if we’re able to replace this game there’s a 90% chance it’ll be against someone better ..

I like that possibility, home or away, doesn't matter to me. Bradley was 23-11 last year with 2 wins over SIU and some other good wins. They're off to a strong start this year. Schedule this game or any other. We want to see our team play regardless of opponent. Doubtful there will be an NCAA Tourney this season anyway so schedule some games.

[Brighton]

Silliness. The tournament will be played.

Could be a blessing in disguise.  At a minimum there's a top 150 team looking for a game next week to replace the 310ish team we're losing.

How does that help with today, 3 star!? Am I supposed to hang out with my family now?  Unacceptable. 
 

Just saw a tweet from Evansville writer saying no positive test today, just following protocols.

This cancellation makes it harder for me to justify drinking all day.

 

Thanks a lot purple aces! 

[HoosierPal]

Game canceled or postponed?  Probably too early to say, but there is a difference.  For my 2 cents, there is no need to reschedule a sub 300 game.

[kshoe]

Playing Bradley tomorrow makes so much sense. Just make it happen.

[JMM28]

I think the most disappointing part is that the free money of SLU -21 is not going to be given out by sportsbooks now. A lot of kids Christmases will be lighter now.

LOL at that post. That's nonsense. It wasn't played last year and the death toll was less than 10 when it was called. It's no better than 50-50 the tournament will be played or the regular season even completed.

True.  However, it is Saturday so you still have a good reason to get hammered in my book.
