| Laney's double-double streak is now at 8 after RU's win over Arkansas today. It was closer than the last game - 12 points and 11 boards - but she got it done.

It was a tough day for the conference on the road yesterday. Rutgers had the only win. Nebraska lost by 2 to Alabama, Purdue by 2 to Dayton and Michigan State to Georgia by 9.
On the home front, everyone had blowout wins except Minnesota which needed OT to beat Butler.

| I'm feeling the onset of OOCF (out-of-conference fatigue). Conference play can't get here soon enough! 3 more weeks . . . ugh.

Michigan takes a drubbing from Princeton, 85-55.
Princeton is now 9-0, having beaten several teams from major conferences . . . Now the Tigers can add the B1G to its list.

| This probably is the best win so far for the Tigers. (Wake may be in the ACC, but nobody really mistakes the Demon Deacons for FF contenders.)

| For those who didn't see it in the gameday thread, it looks like Rachel Banham suffered an ACL last night. That'd be a horrible loss for Minnesota and the B1G.

Very ugly. Much sympathy for her.

I'll hope it's something less serious, but it didn't look good at all.

They played an exhibition:

Friday's exhibition at Williams Arena:
Minnesota 102, Concordia (St. Paul) 71
Box score
CSP is an excellent D-II team (not quite as good in basketball as volleyball, but that's an impossible standard!), advancing to the Elite Eight last spring and being ranked #10 in the WBCA's preseason poll...

Thanks for the correction on 30% instead of 20...I knew that but for some reason had 20 in my head. Sorry for misinformation.
I don't know how the NCAA interprets this. With both the exhibition & "practice vs Milwaukee" on Nov. 1st being exempt as well as the Big Ten Tournament, I don't if they both get included, both get excluded or what.

12.8.4 Hardship Waiver. A student-athlete may be granted an additional year of competition by the conference or the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement for reasons of “hardship.” Hardship is defined as an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred under all of the following conditions:
(c) In team sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition (whichever is applicable to that sport) or 30 percent (whichever number is greater) of the institution’s scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in his or her sport. Only scheduled or completed competition against outside participants during the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship, or, if so designated, during the official NCAA championship playing season in that sport (e.g., spring baseball, fall soccer), shall be countable under this limitation in calculating both the number of contests or dates of competition in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition during that season in the sport. Dates of competition that are exempted (e.g., alumni contests, foreign team in the United States) from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition shall count toward the number of contests or dates in which the student-athlete has participated and the number of scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in the season, except for scrimmages and exhibition contests that are specifically identified as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations. Scrimmages and exhibition contests that are not exempted from the maximum permissible number of contests or dates of competition may be excluded from the calculation only if they are identified as such in the sport’s Bylaw 17 playing and practice season regulations; |

17.3.5.2 Maximum Limitations—Student-Athlete. An individual student-athlete may participate each playing season in not more than either 27 basketball contests and one regular-season qualifying multiple-team event per Bylaw 17.3.5.1.1 or 29 contests in an academic year in which the institution does not participate in a regular-season qualifying multiple-team event. This limitation includes those contests in which the student-athlete represents the institution in accordance with Bylaw 17.02.8, including competition as a member of the varsity, junior varsity or freshman team of the institution. Further, an individual student-athlete may participate each year in only one postseason basketball tournament as a member of the institution’s varsity, junior varsity or freshman team. (Revised: 1/10/90, 1/10/91 effective 8/1/92, 1/12/99 effective 8/1/99, 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)
17.3.5.3 Annual Exemptions. The following basketball contests each year may be exempted from a member institution’s maximum number of contests: (Revised: 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)
(a) Conference Season-End Tournament. A regularly scheduled, season-end, single-elimination basketball championship tournament conducted by a conference (or the tournament used to determine the conference’s automatic entry in an NCAA basketball tournament) among some or all of its members. (Adopted: 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)
(b) Postseason Tournament. Contests in one postseason basketball tournament (e.g., NCAA championship, NAIA championship) unless the institution has participated in the Men’s National Invitation Tournament or the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. A postseason tournament involves competition after the end of the regular season between teams that are not identified until the close of that regular season; (Revised: 1/9/96 effective 8/1/96)
(g) Exhibition Against a Non-NCAA Division I Four-Year Collegiate Institution. An exhibition contest against a four-year collegiate institution (other than an NCAA Division I institution) played in the arena in which the member institution regularly plays its home contests. An institution may exempt two such contests during any year in which it does not use the exemption set forth in Bylaw 17.3.5.3-(h), or it may exempt one such contest and one practice scrimmage as defined in Bylaw 17.3.5.3-(h) each year; and (Adopted: 10/28/99 effective 8/1/00, Revised: 4/29/04 effective 8/1/04, 1/17/09 effective 8/1/09; contracts signed before 8/15/08 may be honored)
(h) Practice Scrimmage. An informal practice scrimmage with outside competition, provided it is conducted in privacy and without publicity or official scoring. Individuals other than athletics department staff members and those necessary to conduct a basketball practice scrimmage against outside competition may not be present during such a scrimmage. The institution shall ensure that the scrimmage is free from public view. No class time shall be missed by basketball student-athletes in conjunction with such a scrimmage, including all associated activities (e.g., travel, pregame and postgame activities). An institution may exempt two such practice scrimmages during any year in which it does not use the exemption set forth in Bylaw 17.3.5.3-(g), or it may exempt one such practice scrimmage and one exhibition contest against a non-NCAA Division I four-year collegiate institution each year. (Adopted: 10/27/98 effective
8/1/99, Revised: 4/29/04 effective 8/1/04, 1/17/09 effective 8/1/09) |

| I don't know what the plan is this year, but MD has never traveled to all their games by charter. And flying in the winter to Nebraska vs flying in the winter to sunny Florida with warm temps and waving palm trees . . . oh yeah, the change in travel is dramatic! There was an article in today's WashPost about the Volleyball team and how they've gone from traveling about 3500 miles last season to 9000 miles this year, now that they are part of the B1G. I still think travel is going to be an issue for MD this year. |
They aren't playing beach volleyball or golf...the weather outside means absolutely nothing. It's also not like they are going to those games and will have a bunch of free time to explore anyway. Fly out the day of the game, play the next day/night & then fly home right after the game. They will be playing an indoor game on a court that measures 94' x 50' with hoops 10' high. Wind, rain, sun, snow...none of that matters.
Regarding the travel, I have no idea but I'm assuming that Maryland may have bused to VA Tech, UVa and a few others. VA Tech is about a 4 hour drive. The flight from Lincoln, NE to Baltimore, MD is about 2 1/2 hours. And on a charter plane, that flight is easy and a piece of cake. Players can spread out, eat, sleep, study...do anything they could do on a bus and probably find it a little easier as the plane isn't turning around corners, hitting bumps in the road, stopping at lights, etc. Travel for the Power 5 Conference teams is so much different than what anyone is used to...I mean, not having to go through security, the bus driving you out to your plane, and so many other things make the travel extremely easy and a lot less time consuming. |
I was just reading through this thread and I saw this quote about charter flights. I have traveled with the MD team several times and the charter flight is usually on the return trip, right after the game. They have a head count and get a charter plane according to that count. On all the flights I've been on with them, these are not big planes. Even a short flight back from Miami left me feeling like a sardine jammed in a small can and I'm only 5'5". Imagine what a player who is 6'2-5" feels.

Not sure what planes you guys were using but with all the charter flights I have been on, there was plenty of room. In addition to private jets, we had charter flights on 50 or more passenger planes that were Northwest, US Air, American, etc and were part of their regional fleets. With a travel party of 25ish people, that leaves quite a bit of room with most having 2 seats to themselves.

I also think that it's important not to discount how much easier it is to get to and from a charter - as pointed out above, no security, etc. - which saves time and just makes it less of a hassle in general.

A 1/3-season (as he puts it) ranking from the RU message board. (For people who don't follow RU, "ttfp" is "that team from Pennsylvania," an attempt by some people to emulate the way OSU fans refer to Michigan.)

Rutgers has announced that Betnijah Laney has a sprained thumb, which probably is better than what some of us expected after Sunday's game. She'll be out for the game against Iona on Saturday, and will be evaluated again after that.
The good news is that RU's first game after Iona isn't until December 28 (at Indiana), so she has time to heal.
