The Nets currently occupy the final playoff spot in the East, as they have a one-game lead over Charlotte. The Pels are two and a half games back of Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the West.

Because of the snow that hit Ruston today, the Lady Techsters basketball team was not able to fly out for tomorrow night’s game against UTEP. So instead, LaTech will bus to Dallas, fly to El Paso on Thursday morning and play UTEP Friday afternoon at one o’ clock. Also there game Saturday, against Texas San Antonio, has been moved to Sunday.

The snow will not prevent tomorrow night’s game between La Tech and UTEP on the men’s side. Those two teams will still battle for first place in Conference USA. The Bulldogs have won 26 straight games at home.

Also, the ULM men’s basketball team traveled safely to Mobile and they’ll play South Alabama tomorrow night. The Warhawks are in a three-way tie for first place with Georgia Southern and Georgia State in the Sun Belt.
