Providence’s Tuesday Night Game Against DePaul Postponed
Kevin McNamara of The Providence Journal is reporting on Twitter that Tuesday night’s game against DePaul that was scheduled for 9pm at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center will not be played Tuesday as scheduled. McNamara mentions in his tweet that “alternate plans being discussed today” which is in line with what Providence College’s Athletic Director Bob Driscoll said in a letter released Sunday night to media and season ticket holders.
In that letter, which was also posted to Friars.com, Driscoll said “Providence College is working with the Big East Conference, Fox Sports 1, DePaul Athletics, the State of Rhode Island and the Dunkin’ Donuts Center on the potential rescheduling of the men’s basketball game versus DePaul.” The Dunkin’ Donuts Center has a Fleetwood Mac concert scheduled for Wednesday night and Thursday is currently an open date but if the storm is as bad as it sounds then the concert may get pushed to Thursday night.
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
