Schedule Changes for 'Roo Hoops

SHERMAN, Texas - With severe winter weather expected to hit beginning on Friday, this weekend's home Austin College men's and women's schedules have been shifted, with both teams playing on Wednesday and Thursday of this week rather than the originally scheduled Friday and Saturday dates.

The 'Roos were scheduled to play Hendrix College on Friday, with the men tipping off at 6:00 p.m. while the women were to play at 8:00 p.m., but those games have now been moved up to tomorrow, January 21, with those same times in place. The teams were also set to play the University of the Ozarks on Saturday evening in Hughey Gym, with those games now being moved to this Thursday, January 22. The men will once again take the floor first at 6:00 p.m., and the women will take on the Eagles at 8:00 p.m.

These changes were made due to the high probability of ice, sleet, snow, and below freezing temperatures that are expected to start on Friday and continue through the weekend, in an effort to ensure safe travel for the opposing teams, as well as game day personnel and fans.
