Here's the school's official news release:

Indiana University Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass has announced that tonight's Big Ten men's basketball game between Iowa and Indiana will be postponed as a result of a piece of metal falling from the ceiling into seats in the lower bowl.

Roughly 6 1/2 hours before gametime, a metal facing (roughly eight feet long by 14 inches wide), fell and damaged seats in the lower part of Section F, which is located in the northwest corner of the building.

"Safety is our No.1 priority," noted Glass. Our University engineers have advised us to postpone events in Assembly Hall until it can be determined what caused the facing to fall and ensure the safety of everyone attending an event in the facility."

The rescheduling of the Iowa contest and the status of tomorrow night's women's game with Michigan will be determined as soon as possible.

We could definitely use the practice. Hopefully that's the plan for tonight.

Just glad it didn't happen during the game. Could've been very bad.

The hits just keep on coming. 

 

The Basketball Gods are offended, IU. Take heed.

Reschedule for Friday. Give the guys a taste of playing a back-to-back. We're gonna need to knock out 4 of those in a few weeks.

It will be interesting to see how brutal of a stretch of games Indiana has now. It was bad before... Now it will be HORRIBLE.

Over/Under on this being used as an excuse for a future loss?

In the article they mentioned trying for tomorrow night. Does anyone have any inside info on how this stuff works out? Obviously it is much more complicated than just saying well this place is free tomorrow night, lets just play there.
