Do you (or anyone) know if the Olympians will be playing tonight and/or tomorrow? My guess would be no, especially tonight, but I haven't found anything official.

I can’t seem to find the tweet now, but I read yesterday that USA and Canada told UM they weren’t sure exactly when the players would be returning. That would likely rule them out for this weekend entirely. Best case is getting back today or tomorrow and that’s way too quick of a turnaround with jet lag and everything. I’ll keep looking and edit with the link if I find it.

Eff. I was literally just thinking about how much better we were this period so thus we’re due for a dumb osu goal. 
 

portillo got into the net somehow. Mightve lost an edge or something
