Should have played in the first game.  Looks better in the sunset.

Should of played during the day.  Hit 70 today near Charlotte.  College of Charleston and Citadel are right there.  Too bad a plan B wasn't possible.

Citadel was Plan B, but the condensation happened during warmups.

Thad Matta...."For the best interests of the players we are not going to play the game. The condesation keeps coming back and at this early stage, Buzz and I have talked and the AD's have talked....it's probably not worth risking..uh, uh...it's not one posession it's two hours of basketball and we don't think we can keep the floor dry."

Now you can interpret his politically correct tone anyway you want.

I think it was more the fact that he only referenced what Marquette players said about the floor being bad. That made it seem like it was a politically correct jab.

How were the nachos at sensors?

[chapman]

Didn't get the impression that Thad wanted to risk it.

Would have hoped they could have just played early tomorrow morning.  Would either team really be unable to beat their cupcake on Sunday if they got home 24 hours before that game started?

[esotericmindguy]

Very strange that Matta said (something along the lines of..): "Buzz's guys kept saying [the court] wasn't good." Was that Matta's way of indicating his guys/he were willing to play?

Yes. I believe he wanted to play the game. Not to mention every time they talked to motta the announcers said they're going to give it a try.

Thad Matta...."I don't know...They (his players) were giving us feedback and just as Buzz's player's were giving us feedback saying it's not good and you don't want to play a game where guys are not mentally into it and you know thinking about what they are saying about it (the players)....never prepared for this one."

Sucks your game got canceled. Don't see why they couldn't have moved the game to citadel right away just give it an hour to move the teams and the fans to a different venue. Maybe it wouldn't be televised anymore, but it's better than not playing at all.

I don't go to a bar where the owner's wife is a felon even though it is 3 blocks from my house.

[hoyasincebirth]

although this was the best result for my hoyas so our game wasn't delayed.

Also I blame Larry Williams for this.

Yeah I would have loved a quality opponent before Maui....ah well.

[DCWarriors04]

So do we get first dibs on playing at Ramstein next year?

[79Warrior]

Bummer.  Logic dictates you play games like this in San Diego or Los Angeles \ Long Beach

Why, is there never condensation in LA or San Diego? Rained in LA yesterday. Cool temps. Same thing can happen in the West Coast also.

Was there ever a definitive answer as to why they couldn't play this at the Citadel tonight?

Don't feed the beast.

[wojosdojo]

Whatever happened to the backup gym downstairs??

Now I can watch Gold Rush.

Citadel was a rain backup. I have to imagine moving this event there would have been planned in advance, not at tip-off.

So there's no media coverage. Players, coaches, officials, game personnel. Anything else is a bonus.

If there's no media coverage, there is not much of a point.

Now to go drink with DSFire.

Stupid outdoor moisture.

For the players and coaches there is.
