Drake played UT-Martin yesterday and UT-Martins game @ Ohio State tomorrow was cancelled due to COVID-19 issues at tOSU, so that's my bet on the replacement tomorrow night

UT-Martin has had two cancellations - the first was @ Evansville which they filled with the Drake game, the second was the Ohio State game, so they have the scheduling vacancy to play in Ames.
According to ESPN, UT Martin is scheduled to play Kent State tomorrow night.

Drake supposedly $ent a plane to Tennessee to pick up the team. Not sure if a return trip was included....lol
 
Would not kill me to have it remain a cancel. Have a practice and break for the holidays. It's not like this was some TV showcase or resume builder.

On the women's side #4 Arizona had to cancel Sundays game with two days notice versus #13 Texas. San Diego stepped in at last minute but that was still the weekend. This is getting pretty close to teams wanting to go home for the holidays to maybe find someone IMHO. Just seems unnecessary.

One less risk to the team for covid exposure before conference season would be just fine with me.

Maybe find someone closer. Does St. Thomas (MN) have a game? They are new to D-1 this year I believe. Otherwise maybe a directional Missouri, UN-NO, Directional Illinois, UW-extension etc. would be fine. Anything to keep our guys sharp heading into the break.

Do you really think athletes are getting sick playing competitions twice a week? Or perhaps it's the other 160 hours. The flights home, the gatherings, etc...

Also, the athletes have scheduled around a game tomorrow. Cancelling it on 36hr notice doesn't move the needle much for them
 
Play Kolar and other football players. /s

But actually that might be kinda fun.

I think I said one less risk exposure would be just fine in my book.
 
How the F did my comment just get deleted? I didn’t even say anything bad. It’s the truth. The AD is waiting for future guidance on allowing fans. (If needed). How is that a bad comment????

If Chicago State can't play, I would go another direction instead of trying to scramble to find a replacement.

I would try to re-schedule a game on Dec 28/29. IMO the current schedule of a 10 day layoff between Chicago State and Baylor is less than ideal. Playing Dec 28/29 is more in line with Big12 Conference play turnaround.

Baylor has a game scheduled for Tue, Dec 28.

Selfishly no because we will be gone. Also i assume the team is going to go home over Christmas.

Wouldn't surprise me if team will be back in Ames next Sunday.

It would be less than ideal with football bowl game and a lot of fans out of town.

With it being holiday week and a lot of people off work, could play Wed at 1p. Great set up for Cyclone Day at sports bars.
