The men’s basketball game against Northern Iowa originally scheduled for Sunday has been rescheduled and moved to Nashville.
The Racers will play UNI at the Curb Event Center on the Belmont University campus at 6 p.m. A post from Racer Athletics said fans will be admitted free.
Shortly before 4 p.m., the University emailed a statement to the campus community. Classes for Monday are canceled, but offices will be open for regular hours.
According to the statement, power has been restored to campus with the exception of the CFSB Center, Wellness Center, RH White Hall and Regents Hall. Contractors are continuing to work on the restoration of full power, due to the lightning strike, to these buildings. Residents of RH White and Regents Halls will be contacted by Housing staff regarding temporary relocation.

Feels like there’s an opportunity here for some investigative journalism. It is understandable that weather events are unpredictable, but effective disaster recovery and communication plans seem to be lacking. There is at the very least an appearance of prioritizing sporting events over student dorms. As a parent paying room and board for a student that is required to live on campus, I am disappointed in the response (or at least the ineffective communication about the response) by MSU. This isn’t the first time this academic year the campus has had long term power outages. For all the “we are a family” talk during orientation sessions, this shouldn’t be how you treat “family”.
