Snow not expected to impact Saint Louis’ trip
The Saint Louis men’s basketball team is scheduled to leave for Dayton on a charter flight at 6:30 p.m. Central time today, and Chuck Yahng, the school’s sports information director, doesn’t believe the heavy snowfall will affect the Billikens’ travel plans.
Dayton hosts Saint Louis at 8 p.m. Thursday.
“It has stopped snowing here,” Yahng said Wednesday morning. “It’s just a matter of whether they’re able to clear off all the snow. We still have nine more hours before we have to leave. I’m anticipating we should be OK.”
Saint Louis’ charter flight is scheduled to land at the Wright Bros. Aero facility next to the Dayton International Airport at 9:30 p.m.
“We still have planes taking off and landing,” said Katie Mitchell of Wright Bros. Aero Inc. “As long as the snow stops around noon (as predicted), they should be fine.”
The UD women’s team hosts George Washington tonight. A UD spokesman said GW has already arrived in town, and the game will be played as scheduled.
