The University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff didn’t show up at Moody Coliseum Saturday night... figuratively, and almost literally.
With less than 60 minutes until the 7 p.m. tipoff, the Golden Lions were struggling against the full-court press of Dallas traffic.
Forty minutes remaining turned to 20 - still no Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Fans were visibly confused as the SMU Mustangs began their pregame warm-up across the court from an invisible opponent.
With 18 minutes until the game’s scheduled start time, an arena staffer rushed to the floor to alert everyone he had made contact with the team via text message.
