COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Ohio Valley Conference basketball
doubleheader against UT Martin is still scheduled to be played
Thursday night in Tennessee Tech's Eblen Center. Tipoff for the
women's game -- a battle for first place -- is at 5:30 p.m. The
men's game follows at 7:30 p.m.
"We wanted to let fans know that the games are still on," said TTU
Associate Director of Athletics Frank Harrell. "Because classes on
Thursday have been cancelled at the University, there was some
question whether the games would still be played. The UT Martin
women's team is expected to arrive in Cookeville Wednesday night
and the UT Martin men's team will be coming to town early
Thursday."
Athletics officials are encouraging fans to use discretion in
deciding whether to attend the game, depending on local road
conditions in their area. Interstate 40 and main thoroughfares in
Cookeville are mostly clear.
"Of course we advise everyone to use caution in their travels,"
Harrell added. "Many of our students have returned to campus to
resume classes, and they should have little trouble getting across
campus for the games. Again, we just advise them to be careful
walking across campus, but crews have been out clearing sidewalks
and roads, and spreading salt, so the campus is accessible."
For ticket information, or updates on the games, please call the
Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center at (931) 372-3940.
