Re: ALERT: St. Bonaventure Game Rescheduled for 7pm Saturday
NBC10's reporter was reporting from the Holiday Inn in South Kingston and saying the hotel had lost power, which happens to be the hotel where the Bonnies are staying. The hotel is currently working off generators after losing power for some time. Still not every room has heat or power tonight.
