CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- No. 16 Miami's game at Arkansas State on Saturday has been canceled over concerns about Hurricane Irma, a powerful Category 5 storm that forecasters believe will affect Florida this weekend.
Getting to Arkansas for the game would not be the problem for Miami. The potential issue would be getting back to Miami, and the uncertainty over what will happen with the storm led to the decision to err on the side of caution.
The game will not be made up in 2017.
Some members of the Hurricanes' women's basketball team were evacuating on Wednesday to Georgia to get out of Irma's expected path.
