EWU-Seattle U men’s hoops

game postponed by high winds

CHENEY — A wind storm in the Inland Northwest caused the postponement of Tuesday night’s Eastern Washington-Seattle men’s basketball game at Reese Court.

The game has been rescheduled for today at 12:30 p.m.

Sustained winds of 40 miles per hour caused several road closures and other dangerous situations. The Redhawks remained at a hotel in Spokane instead of making the trek to Cheney.

Ticket holders unable to use their tickets today will have their tickets honored at the door for any future game.
