His take is closer to my take on the game, it shouldn't have been called, it was a game after all. I'm sure ASU would have won, but the whole thing was treated like a big joke. What if it had been a tie game, would they have called it a tie? I just think arrangements should have been made beforehand to ensure the game was able to be completed, after all it was played in a dome.
I'd still like to know what the rules are concerning something like this.

Hyatt has been the radio p-b-p announcer for Tech since before Sheryl Swoopes played there. He is very unique in that he uses a lot of humor in his broadcast. He is also very honest in his assessment of the Tech team in his blog and in his broadcast.
He has called more than 450 women's basketball games over the radio. He is probably one of the most tenured radio announcers involved with women's college basketball. He knows what he is talking about.
Every women's team in the NCAA needs publicity. Why play an outdoor game if they are not trying to draw attention? I didn't realize this game was scheduled after the current record was earned. |

""If they'd have had a little radar or something we could have seen it coming and maybe closed the roof in time," Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry said. "Keep an eye on the tracker. We've got that on a channel back home." "
Oh well, ya still would've lost, Kristy.

See Rule 5, section 4. |

Art. 1. When a game is interrupted because of events beyond the control
of the responsible administrative authorities, it shall be continued from the
point of interruption unless the teams agree otherwise or there are applicable
