Basketball game "rained" out
No makeup date has been announced for the men's basketball game between Virginia and Georgia Tech that was postponed Thursday night.
A wet floor caused Georgia Tech to announce the postponement at 7:30 p.m., 30 minutes after the scheduled tipoff.
The Georgia Tech women's team practiced until 5:30 p.m., after which the men's teams took the floor for pregame shootarounds. Managers subsequently discovered droplets near the free-throw line at the east end of the floor.
Atlanta has been under a drought watch for most of the year but a steady and sometimes heavy rain hit the area in mid-morning.
UVa executive associate athletic director Jon Oliver said the game might be held following the regular season and prior to the ACC Tournament.
