Very strange that a high major has to cancel because of injuries. Covid or the flue seems more than normal. Suprised they don't just go play with the walk ons and the rest of the team that is not injured.
TCU Forfeiting tonight & Saturday in Hilton
- Thread starter ClonesMagic1
- Start date
They may not want to say illness if they'd rather not specify what the illness is and don't want to invite further questions.
The TCU forfeit also stinks because it may be a win that we need for the NCAA - the release says it counts in conference record but not regular season record.
The Killer Frogs message board seems just as surprised and confused as we are.
Nevermind. Just reread I had missed the sentence in article where it says it counts as a win for ISU women in Big standings only.
Only in the Conference Standings - is a no contest in the season record.
Look at it as a loss of real-game experience for our young team. But also a chance to work on other things, watch films, and maybe rest up (Emily) and hope we are a rested rather than a rusty team.
I don't know how you run out of players like that...?
As long as you have seven warm bodies to dress (or at least I thought that was the minimum) including any of your walk-ons and even your managers if you need to, then can't you still play and take your beating?

It won't matter. Don't see us on the bubble unless we completely auger in and I don't see that happening unless we have some really bad luck with injuries or illness. The remaining schedule is not exactly a juggernaut of ranked teams outside of Texas and KSU.
We have 13 games left that "count". If we can't win half of those to get to 18-19 wins we maybe shouldn't be invited anyway. I think we get to at least 20 and are nowhere near the bubble.

It's essentially like the game never happened, with the exception of a win being added to the conference standing mainly for Big 12 tournament seeding purposes. It won't effect stats, overall record, etc. We will just play one less regular season game.
Looks like K-State was already in Fort Worth. I'm sure they're thrilled to learn about this.

Go out for a steak somewhere and than fly home.
One thing to consider is that it doesn't really impact the race. Barring a huge upset ISU and KSU were going to win these games so none of the contenders can really complain about that. It's not like the Sooners, trying to show they are a contender, got a forfeit from Texas or Baylor.
Yes but now it means I have to wait until January 31st for another home game. Think about the real victim.
