If it came down picking which games get made up, have to think games involving ISU would be low priority.
ISU Season paused indefinitely.

- Start date
On the contrary. Thinking it would improve their win-loss record, I think they'd want ISU.
NCAA can't afford another financial hit so the "Final Four" tournament will happen. I would suspect that the qualifiers will be bracketed in a dark room. It will be done by percentage of wins since so many games will not happen in the regular season. I could see a lot of conference tournaments get canceled.
Possibly, seems to me that games that could have a positive impact for the conference postseason chances would be prioritized. Playing ISU is all risk, no reward, when it comes to making the NCAA's.

Playing ISU is a light practice day when it comes to making the NCAAs.
Just playing ISU will hurt their computer ranking.

This game was probably expected to be cancelled wasn't it? The thing that disappoints me is the lack of transparency when coach Fennelly was contact traced, he just announced it and stayed away from the team and had coach Steyer fill in for a couple of games. I know there are Hippa rules and such, but hell let people know what is going on.
Between Iowa State and K-State, some of the top teams in the conference are going to get screwed out of alot of easy wins.
or saved from taking a terrible loss
Why not just say screw it and try to play with walk-ons? The results couldn't be that much worse. And might actually be more entertaining to watch play out.
All that matters is NET Rankings now. ISU is 200th in the NET Ranking. Probably hurts the top 7 teams in the league to have to play us win or lose because it's going to kill their SOS.
Interesting concept, I think they call it "tanking" in the professional ranks when the team is out of the running and positioning for a higher draft position. In this case, it wouldn't hurt attendance or revenue but the Big 12 Commish might frown along with the TV folks.
Or saved from only beating a sub 200 team by 12 points.
Nothing yet, which I’ll take as good(ish) news. I picked up tickets for this game about an hour before the pause was announced. Oops.
Nope, but with it only being 2 days after a postponed game I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen.
