Have you ever slipped on a puddle of sweat on hardwood while making a hard cut to the rim? The results are brutal. Now, imagine a whole court coated with that sort of danger. If you had sense and weren't getting paid, you wouldn't even bother playing.
That's the type of situation Pittsburgh and Gonzaga were faced with in tonight's game at a military base in Japan. This was a game that had something like this happen.
That's Pittsburgh guard James Robinson cutting his cheek through no fault of his own.
Playing for the troops is cool, but it's counterproductive when condensation and humidity starts turning hardwood into a Slip-n-Slide. The officials realized this, too. With Pittsburgh leading 37-35 at the half, they decided to cancel the game to prevent further injury.
The officials have decided Gonzaga-Pittsburgh game will not resume because playing conditions are unsafe.
