Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 3888221, member: 10709"] The BIG 10 schedule was changed this year due to COVID and I recall reading that travel guidelines were in place, which could have affected teams abilities to schedule competitive games. The conference schedule went to 20 from 18, so there's 2 opportunities gone there. [URL unfurl="true"]https://bigten.org/news/2020/11/23/general-big-ten-announces-20-game-womens-basketball-schedule.aspx[/URL] I don't think a team like Maryland or Indiana was trying to duck anyone. Indiana was fortunate to get a game in with Tennessee last minute because Tennessee was willing to travel to them. If teams aren't allowed to go outside a specific range, excluding conference opponents, what are they supposed to do? I believe other conferences had similar challenges. As to the BIG10 being over rated, I disagree. The COVID pauses that held back Rutgers and Michigan for over a month robbed the conference from some great match ups. Penn State's style of play improved late in the season. A lot of the conferences didn't have the same level of play this year too. [/QUOTE]
