Might seem a little harsh to some, but I don't know what else they could have done?

Are the semi's and finals always played on the same day in the All "A"?

Eastern Kentucky University has called off classes and closed its offices for Thursday and Friday because downed tree limbs have made traipsing to class too dangerous.

"It's going to take our campus facilities (workers) anywhere from two to three days to just clear the downed trees so that students would be safe," said Marc Whitt, EKU's associate vice president for public relations. "Even with taking the remainder of this week to clear a pathway out, it will take several weeks for facilities services to pick up all the downed branches."

So it is to dangerous for the students to walk from their dorms rooms to their classrooms, but it isn't to dangerous to attend a basketball game on the same campus? Only in Kentucky, where Basketball is more important than education!

3 hours between games on Sunday. This will make it tough for Elliott, I mean the team coming from the bottom bracket. I hope they use the bench.

Going to be tough on the Bottom Bracket

With all of the girls games being played today (Wednesday) albeit with a three hour delay, I'm curious why they didn't stay on the original schedule for the remainder of the tournament.

 

Perhaps some of the boys teams from the outlying areas are unable to be in Richmond on Thursday.

 

With 8 straight girls games being played today at one hour and a half intervals, I'm really curious to see what time the Ballard Memorial - Monticello game, scheduled for 10:30pm actually goes off. My bet is 11:30pm or later.

Correct.

Is it too dangerous for the students to go to class, or are some parts of campus (including dorms) without power? That might be why classes are cancelled but ball games can still be played.

Fans are only coming to one place on campus. It's not like they're walking all over campus trying to get to and from classes.

I know the dorms have power as I am staying in one. But they are afraid that tree limbs will fall on students walking to class, so that's why they have canceled classes for Thursday and Friday.

And the place that they are going to (and parking in) is tree free.

To my knowledge it is.
