Damnit, I wanted to see that game. Hopefully it gets rescheduled.

On a positive note Illinois winning means the B1G has won the B1G-ACC challenge after day 1!

adamsmit86 · December 9, 2020, 4:42am

Should’ve been undefeated too if Purdue didn’t blow a 20 point lead

Cancel Toledo and give me Michigan vs. Michigan State round one. This fan base deserves a rivalry game this week.

I really like this idea, but not sure if the B1G would allow it. Man I really really like that idea.

BurgerBoy82 · December 9, 2020, 4:48am

I guess the best game of the challenge wasn’t MSU/Virginia…

Duke must’ve practiced how to keep social distance in a basketball game.

A Purdue meltdown away from a clean sweep on day one. Very good for Michigan, we need the Big Ten to be as good as possible.

Also, it’s hard to be surprised that the conference allowing football games to look like this is responsible for 3/3 of the cancellations.

I heard on a Louisville basketball broadcast that the attendance was 3,000 or something and couldn’t believe my ears.

ucntseemoi · December 9, 2020, 5:09am

COVID has won more games in this challenge than the ACC.

Mdemorest4 · December 9, 2020, 5:11am

I heard something similar in a different game about a few thousand in attendance. Then after an awkward pause one announcer said something like, “that sounds like a lot, but this is a pretty big venue.” Ugh

mazs · December 9, 2020, 5:14am

He had to eventually.

CursedBlue · December 9, 2020, 5:18am

ESPN was showing Virginia highlights while talking about their game getting canceled and even they had tons of people in the stands. I would’ve expected better from them. Crazy that they’re putting thousands into enclosed arenas. So yeah, I’m shocked that them and Louisville are two of the cancellations. I don’t know if NC State has fans or not, so I won’t say anything regarding them without knowing.

Scottwood · December 9, 2020, 5:28am

There are CBB teams with fans in the stands in indoor basketball arenas? Or, just CFB teams?

Mdemorest4 · December 9, 2020, 5:31am

CBB as well yes. Not a great idea as we are seeing, (though I would have thought that was obvious before.)

Scottwood · December 9, 2020, 5:58am

That’s crazy. I was unaware of that.

ucntseemoi · December 9, 2020, 11:44am

Great win for PSU. Imagine if they didn’t piss away the SH game.

Mattski · December 9, 2020, 1:58pm

We’ve got one more game tonight before the conference season commences, but. . . anyone care to speculate about how strong Michigan looks in comparison to the rest of the B1G at this stage? To me the conference looks more daunting than it did a month ago.
