I've got tickets to the Duke - Carolina game Wed.

I'm going to the game Wednesday and it's looking like NC might get slammed with a winter storm. My question is... what would it take for them to postpone the game due to weather?

 

The reason I ask is, I'm going to be driving about three to three and a half hours to get to the game in normal conditions, add in snow and ice, it could be brutal!! I've spent a lot of money on tickets and lodging and right now I'm afraid I'm going to waste it all! Do/Will they postpone a basketball game due to weather? If so, How far in advance do they do it?

 

I put this in the lounge because I thought I might get a better response than the basketball forum. Mods, if you feel it needs to be moved, I understand!

 

Thanks for any help I can get!!!

They don't postpone games due to weather unless the teams can't make it.

When Atlanta got hit with the blizzard and the entire city shut down, unc played ga tech that night and the game still went on because the team was already there. No fans or camera crews could make it though and the game still went on.

Not knowing your work schedule/real life stuff - I'd look into getting a hotel room. They aren't gonna cancel/postpone the game. Unc had to play in ATL (GaTech) a few weeks ago when all that crap snow was going on. They had horrible travel conditions and the city basically shutdown...they still had to play.

U could always sell them if you're that concerned. It sucks but they'd fetch a nice price.

Thanks for the info guys! I can't really sell the tickets because my girlfriend's son is on the basketball team and this is the only chance she is going to get to go see them. I would break her heart if I sold them!

 

I have a 4WD so I think i will be OK as long it's just snow, if it is an ice storm I'm screwed! I have hotel reservations, so as long as I can get there I won't have to worry about driving back!

LOL!!! He's not a player, he wears a suit and sits behind the bench. I don't really know what he does but he always sits behind Roy Williams.

 

What will really suck is when you see a half-empty arena and you paid a crapload for the tickets. On the other hand, you'll probably be able to "upgrade" and move a lot closer to the floor.

 

I haven't thought about that, but with it being Duke and UNC, I can't see it being half empty! But you better believe if I get the chance I will get closer!

No doubt.

While your enjoying one of the best sporting events in America at a "half empty arena" - Anybodyhome will be sitting on his couch playing with his cat. Hopefully his 7/11 doesn't sell out of Busch Light before the big game.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
