Inclement Weather Forces LMU Postponement with North Alabama 

FLORENCE, AL – While snowy conditions have a grasp on the tri-state area, the winter weather isn’t only limited to making things difficult for outdoor activities. 

On Saturday afternoon the Lincoln Memorial University men’s and women’s basketball teams were forced to postpone their final meeting of the season with the University of North Alabama in Florence, Alabama.  While snow wasn’t a problem in Florence, sleet and nasty conditions elsewhere in the region hampered game officials travel to the event site, pushing back the contests to Sunday at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.

The delay of the games is somewhat concerning to both the LMU men’s and women’s coaching staffs as it means a lot of down time for both squads in a hotel environment that doesn’t allow for a great deal to do other then either sit of sleep.

Nonetheless, LMU and UNA will square on Sunday in two crucial late season Gulf South Conference match-ups that could have huge bearing on who will make the trip to the conference tournament in Tupelo, Mississippi next month.
