PROVIDENCE — Larry Lepore said he began fearing the basketball floor at the Dunkin' Donuts Center would have some problems when he got into his car and began driving downtown Saturday morning.

The unseasonably warm weather, plus heavy humidity, proved to be a near-disaster for the PC-Marquette game. In fact, it was a disaster for the losing Golden Eagles.

As is standard practice, the court sat on the sheet of ice that the Providence Bruins played on Friday night. The warm temperatures created moisture on the court that was first noticed when the teams came in for morning shootarounds.
