Utah only 24 points at the half vs Colorado. Would look good Colorado being top 25 in the NET.

Colorado with the upset! 77-67 over #8 undefeated Utah, well they were undefeated. Ladyvols bested this same Colorado team by 18 last month.

This was my first thought. Why is it a postponement if DePaul was ready to play? Clearly should be a forfeit

Apparently Patterson also got hurt in the Xavier game sitting on bench magically …Edwards being out must have been a no brainer to force another player out in order to postpone. I hate how smart they are lmao

As I posted in the thread earlier, the Big East changed their rules about cancellation during Covid. The current rules state if one team does not have seven scholarship players ready to play at game time the game will be rescheduled. In this situation there will be no forfeit.

Not hard to imagine that a team down to seven or eight but missing several of their best players might just discover that a couple of subs have come down with the 24-hour flu.

Great win for Colorado! They are a veteran team, they were without Frieda Formann when we played. She was playing for her national team at the time. She does a lot for them and is probably their primary scoring option when they are in a pinch.

Huge win for them and great for us as well!

They have Arizona up next and I think they will beat them, possibly quite handily. If they do, they will be ranked.

This is the second time Utah and Colorado have played this year. Utah won by 28 the first time and lost by ten in this second game. That is a large variance tbh and there could be outstanding factors involved like injuries, suspensions or unusual performances to explain the 38 point swing in outcomes or maybe it’s as simple as Colorado is improving quickly.

Both teams tend to play much better at home. Colorado in particular. They have knocked Stanford off a time or two in the last couple years, even with lesser teams than this. Tough gym to play in.

Colorado was predicted to be a pretty tough team this season. For the last few years we were expecting them to be better than they were. Some injuries off and on caused issues. This years team is a veteran team with lots of versatility and they are pretty speedy.

I watched both games and in the first matchup Utah got hot from 3 and then Colorado had a terrible time trying to guard them.

Would expect them to make a little noise in the PAC-12 and win a few games they aren’t supposed to, like this one.

None of us know what happened to Patterson, but during the game her goggles were ripped off and broken. A lot of people don't know this, and most of us didn't find out until she came on board, is that she is blind in one eye. Now, if something happened to her good eye, then no matter what it was, it would be dangerous for her to play. As you guys know, we, as fans, are not privy to medical info unless the player and team want to release it. At this point, UConn fans don't know who is available because it seems that everyday there is a new issue with somebody. Just very depressing for us.

Wow. That's really scary about the eye. Hope all the UCONN players get well soon.

Going to be some really good games in the Big 10 today. Looking forward to it, fun league right now. Lots of really talented players.

It’s the best conference to watch this year easily. They have a great style of play for a spectator because of all the ball movement and there are so many great shooters dispersed throughout the various teams.There will be plenty of teams make the tourney. It’s not a physical league like the SEC so they might have trouble matching up defensively to a good SEC type team in the tourney, but it’s a nice brand of basketball to watch.
Btw, Berger has begun activities and is close to returning for IU. Unfortunately, OSU has lost a starter for the year and has another injured currently.

Every conference has their own cancellation\forfeit rules and procedures. The Big East changed their procedures last year because of Covid. I do know that the Big East rule states that you must have seven game-ready players at tip off. UConn currently has six, with four questionable. No forfeit.

Do you know what the SEC policy is? What if UConn hypothetically didn't have enough players for the Tennessee game?

Iowa versus Michigan at 4:30 on everyone’s local Fox station, should be an interesting game….

“In the event a team is unable to begin or complete a regular season Conference event due to the unavailability of participants (due to COVID-19, injuries or other reasons), that team will forfeit the contest and will be assigned a loss in the Conference standings. The opposing team that is ready to play will be credited with a win in the Conference standings. Both teams will be deemed to have played and completed the contest for purpose of the Conference standings. If both teams are unable to compete due to the unavailability of participants (due to COVID-19, injuries or other reasons), both teams shall be deemed to have forfeited the game, with a loss assigned to both teams and applied to the conference standings. Both teams will be deemed to have played and completed the contest for purpose of the Conference standings.
The Commissioner retains discretion to declare a "no contest" for any event if extraordinary circumstances warrant.”

This is for a conference SEC game. I do not know what the procedure is for nonconference games. However, keep in mind last year Dawn Staley canceled the game against Connecticut, and it was neither rescheduled, nor did either team suffer consequences.

SC and Uconn agreed mutually to cancel the game. Not sure how that figures in, but SC was not dodging Uconn obviously or vice versa, it had to do with previous cancelled Conference games due to Covid stuff and SC deemed the SEC game more important, as it was for them, because it may have decided the regular season champion.

Listen, it isn’t always about a team or teams trying to duck out of a game, sometimes the situation calls for a decision on what is more important to a team or both teams. SC would have loved to play Uconn last year, it was not in the best interest of their goal to secure an SEC regular season championship, as they would not have been able to make up a lost conference game. Uconn was needing similar help with the schedule at that time.

I am all for rescheduling games when possible, the Covid crap forced many teams to make hard choices.
