Duquesne Stuck In Snow

[Stop! Rammer Time]

I'm not sure how many other people have seen this already, but the men's basketball team has been stuck in snow on the PA turnpike since 9:15pm last night after trying to make it back from their game vs George Mason. I'm glad our guys had the setup with Amtrak and are safely home. I'll post some of their most interesting tweets, but the duke's mbb timeline is worth a follow along atm.

That really sucks for them. At least they won their game yesterday making it a little bit more tolerable given the result.

Thankfully URI had the option of Amtrak. DC can't manage snow and if Rhody hadn't gotten out within a few hours of the game, they would have been stranded there for days.

NYC is shutting down the roads and rails this afternoon.

Not good.

why was anyone on the roads? how many warnings do people need?

Duquesne is still 80 miles east of Pittsburgh stuck on the Pa Turnpike. They may spend a 2nd night on the bus. I hope that isn't the case and they can get home before the night is out.

Too bad we're not playing them Monday night at their place. We might get a road win.

Anyone heard any updates? Hope those guys make it home soon...and if they're still stuck, that at least they have heat...
