BILOXI — Weather-related delays were the top story on Day 1 of the Conference USA tournament Wednesday at MGM Park.
Four separate lightning delays – each one lasting more than an hour – resulted in both the Southern Miss-UAB matchup as well as the Charlotte-UTSA contest being postponed until Thursday.
The tentative schedule calls for the Charlotte-UTSA meeting to begin at 9 a.m., followed by Southern Miss-UAB at 12:30 p.m. Louisiana Tech and Rice were still in progress after 11 p.m. Wednesday. If that game, which was in the seventh inning when it was delayed a second time, can not be completed, it would restart at 9 a.
