Nova and the Mess the BE has in Rescheduling

[BM1090]

I'm sure there are reasons.  If this doesn't come to pass, it's not like the BE just overlooked the rescheduling of games.  My guess is with the 13 game minimum, that the BE may not see the need to fly people around the country.

I should have amended it to "No reason Marquette shouldn't be at Uconn Wednesday or Thursday if the Big East is trying to play all the games".

Yeah I think there is zero chance of them making up a significant number of these games.  For the sake of the BET tournament seeding?  If there even is a BET when all is said and done?

The goal for this year is to get a significant number of games in to give schools decent tournament resumes and earn some $$$ in the process.

Yep.  Nova has 4 unscheduled games with limited windows of opportunity except literally for back to back games

So far, MU hasn't had a Big East men's basketball game postponed due to a problem within MU's program in dealing with COVID.  That's actually a pretty awesome achievement for the athletic department and basketball program that should be acknowledged.

One reason might be Xavier at UConn was a CBSSN game for this Wednesday that got postponed. MU at UConn in late February is a FOX/FS1. Yet, if that would be the lone reason, I would hope they could work around it.

I'm really shocked the BE hasn't been more proactive in getting some extra games in.  Sure, it's impossible to get them all rescheduled, but they could have shuffled a few and opened up time (later/now) for make-up games.  Oh well.

they did early on, switching up St. Johns going to Gtown then Seton Hall.

How much of not adjusting is coaches thought? BYU was switched to got to Gonzaga with 36 hours to prepare and was not happy about that. Are BE coaches saying no to similar on the fly adjustments?

I say cancel the BET and do make-up game that week.  Schedule with one day in between if necessary. Tournaments are meant to be showcases and moneymakers, and the latter isn't going to happen this year.

No way.  Gotta keep the auto-bid dreams alive.

Solid article on Xavier scheduling problems. Points out asymetrical standards among conferences.
