Seton Hall vs. Providence Game Suspended Due to Unsafe Floor Conditions

Alec NathanFeb 21, 2018

Wednesday's game between the Seton Hall Pirates and Providence Friars was suspended midway through the second half after condensation on the floor at Dunkin' Donuts Center made for unsafe playing conditions, according to ESPN's John Brickley

The playing surface at the arena, which also hosts AHL hockey games, became slippery due to unseasonably warm temperatures that caused the ice underneath the basketball court to melt. 

Conditions were so bad that Seton Hall forward Desi Rodriguez was forced to leave the game after he slipped and suffered an apparent ankle injury.

According to the Providence Journal's Kevin McNamara, the game will resume Thursday at noon ET. Instead of taking place at Dunkin' Donuts Center, the two sides will pick things up at Alumni Hall, which is Providence's on-campus gymnasium. 

Seton Hall was leading 56-47 with 13:03 remaining in regulation at the time of the stoppage. 

The Friars were plagued by a similar problem last February when they hosted Marquette. During that game, referees told both head coaches at halftime that "any slips or falls would not be deemed a turnover," per McNamara
