Games Cancelled

Fail. Game could have been played tomorrow. Game would get over at 8. Worst of wind won’t start till Thursday morning.
How many times has that happened? I've made some really hairy trips to Hilton before and was surprised by this. I wasn't going to make the drive this time due to combo of weather and opponent. If it was a Big 12 game I probably would have left early and been prepared to stay there though.
Wonder if Omaha was part of the concern for the men's game, as they'd be hitting the **** slightly before we would.
Damn. Would've been another critical game to continue Tre's preparations.

It would have been nice to add another W to the resume, but I'm betting Omaha's travel had to get taken into account.
This might sting when looking for enough wins to make the NCAA tournament. I hope they can reschedule it. It’s not like Omaha is far.
Exactly my thoughts - To be fair I can think of a couple games in the past where I was thinking, yaaaa I should have stayed in Des Moines as I'm going 30mph on I-35.
I think according to the announcement it was more related to allowing the players to get home for Christmas - most of them have to travel some distance so this should allow them to beat the weather out of town.
I wondered that too, but I figure they mean the word "cancelled" instead of "postponed". Unfortunate.
The announcement on the website says that neither game will be made up.
The challenge is probably more when. I doubt TJ is going to want to drop this in the middle of the big 12 schedule and I'd assume when players get back from Christmas they are going to want to lock in on Baylor prep.
Damn. A 10-day gap between games turns into 13. Shooting is gonna be even colder than usual for Baylor. Would be nice if they could squeeze the game in, even if it has to be the 28 or 29th.
Pretty weak ass if true. Iowa squeezed in Duke 2 days before de pantsing us and then played Wisconsin 3 days after that, too. This shouldn't be difficult to make up. Bizarre decision to not, IMO.
I highly doubt we miss the NCAA tournament because we didn't get the chance to beat the #289th team in the country per KenPom. Omaha is horrible. But I get your point.
Lame. Play the games back-to-back at 9 AM and 12:30. Gives both teams plenty of time to get back home ahead of the storm.
As a fan no game until Jan stinks, but best decision. Let players get home before cold & bad weather hit tomorrow night. Plus for players flying they don't have to adjust return to Ames flights if game was rescheduled to next week.
Yeah, it won't matter much for NCAA resume. 7-11 in the Big 12 and 0-1 against Missouri would only net us 16 wins. 16-14 won't get in, but 17-14 with that 17th win being Omaha wouldn't matter either. We have to hope for 8-10 and 1-0 vs Mizzou. 18-12 should do it.
