someone needs to tell Chicken Little

Wow. Glad nobody was sitting there. I've always wanted to hit up a game at Assembly Hall. Both of my parents are IU grads & I grew up cheering for the Hoosiers.

Move our game to ESPN!!!!!!!! Better yet, simulcast it on both. This is as big as Duke-Carolina, right?

 

[pourcyne]

Let me guess, Fran lost his temper and bounced a ball into the ceiling during practice...

If our game had been in the same time slot as Iowa Indiana they definitely would. They moved Missouri Arkansas from ESPN2 to ESPN when I believe it was Syracuse Duke was postponed.

Interested to know the cause of the beam to fall.

Doubt it's a design error. The building has been erected for years. Could possibly be due to fatigue, or if it is support weight it's not supposed to. The fact that the rest of the structure seems intact tells me it's a secondary framing member.

Someone let Marvin know that our ceiling is not going to fall on his head.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

That could have been bad.

Well the I35 bridge over the Mississippi in the Twin Cities collapsed in large part because some gusset plates were undersized - a design error some 50 years earlier.

The roof was leaking on the Hilton court earlier... and now it is again a bit.

Too bad this did not happen before their game with OSU so that Clark's visit would be rather lame.

 

[1Nation]

I'm guessing it's a hoist beam, has nothing to do with the structure.

Surprised things like this do not happen more often. Footage of beam falling:

IU men's basketball game vs. Iowa postponed - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

Not for me. I have a business dinner at 6......I'm going to DVr the game and watch when I get home.

Going to be hard not to check my phone

This is getting interesting, I swear the last few days there has been a number of news stories regards to roof collapses from the snow, more now than ever before it seems like and now today inside Assembly Hall...

I thought I heard it was more they were weakened by years of exposure to pigeon ****.
