And NCSt is in the air -- and has LANDED

[rrlbees]

Expected to land here at about 230 if you want to meet them at the airport.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Oooooh, ooooh! Mr. Kotter!!! Me first!!!

 

[jdubs30]

2:30? They coulda made the 3PM tipoff. Scrubs.

 

[Orangezoo]

Thought they left at 930 last night?

 

[Zippy1808]

On my way to Hancock.
Hoping to get a photo with Mark Gottfried on the tarmac.

Nope. Never got out.

 

[Orangezoo]

Nope. Never got out.

Wow .. is there an ncaa rule for how soon the game is to start once the other team arrives late due to weather?

 

[HoustonCuse]

Wow going to be tough for those guys, not getting any time in the dome to measure the rims Hoosiers style like other teams do the day before the game.

 

[rrlbees]

Not sure. You would think there would be something. They've been trying to get out since 330 yesterday.

and just how the hell are they gonna to get all the way from hancock to the dome in this foul weather? gotta be all of 8 miles and there's icicles!

 

[SBU72]

why isn't there a rule about being at least in the city you're going to 24 hrs in advance? how is it that the ACC has travel problems but Big East never did?

Big east did also. This just happens to be a very bad winter for ice and snow.

I remember one game at the Dome in which St. John's arrived just in time to get their ankles taped, put on their uniforms and go out and lose. Fraschilla era.

I don't know if that would have helped. They would have had to leave on Tuesday.

 

[bballbeadle]

We should give them a huge round of applause. Serious!

 

[llandz]

I am going to assume that if both teams agree they are ok, weather (pun) there is a rule or not. I would think they could overrule the rule. Because often it is more complicated to find another date and arrange travel.

 

[Toga]

If they had only been 8 miles away - this Board would be insane.

 

[Bill Orange]

Wheels down.

wait one second. they still have to get from the airport to the Dome. I have heard that Carolina teams have trouble going 8 miles.

 

[tptcuse]

NC State team just checking into the Sheraton now.

 

[Shermthegeneral]

I doubt there is a rule on when the team arrives. Think about all the smaller D1 schools that take a bus everywhere, I'm sure there are delays often.

Now, say my (our) name! Say it!
