The men's basketball game between Cal State Northridge and Montana was postponed Saturday because the visitors couldn't get out of Salt Lake City.
Montana athletic director Wayne Hogan said the game will be rescheduled but a date hasn't been set.
Hogan said Northridge was unable to fly into Missoula on Friday because of a major snow storm in the Salt Lake City area. The team couldn't get enough airplane seats on Saturday to reach Missoula in time.
``We are disappointed,
but there are some things you just can't control, and this is sure one of them,''
Hogan said. ``This is a first for me in my 20-plus years in athletics.''
Andre Barrett rebounded from the worst performance of his career by scoring 25 points and contributing six assists, leading Seton Hall to a 76-62 victory over DePaul on Saturday.
Barrett, who scored just seven points against Davidson earlier in the week, connected on 10 of 13 against the Blue Demons, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range. He led the Pirates (7-2) to their fifth win in six games.
After DePaul took a 59-57 lead with 7:29 remaining, Seton Hall reeled off 14 straight points. Ten came from Barrett, who nailed a 3-pointer, made a pretty lane jumper and hoisted an acrobatic scoop shot beneath the basket to push the lead to 66-59 with 4:37 left.
John Allen added a long jumper, and Barrett capped his afternoon with a long 3-pointer that pushed the lead back to double digits.
Five Seton Hall players scored in double figures, including Kelly Whitney with 13 points, Allen and J.R. Morris with 11, and Marcus Toney-El with 10. DePaul's Delonte Howard and Sammy Mejia each scored 18, and Quemont Greer had 13.
The lead changed hands eight times in the first half.
DePaul (5-4) played the game without starting forward Andre Brown, the nation's fourth-highest rebounder with a 10.6-per-game average. Brown did not make the trip because of a knee injury.
Two other DePaul reserves, Tyler Smith and Chris Exilus, were suspended by DePaul coach Dave Leitao for team rules infractions and also didn't make the trip to New Jersey.
