Arena #112: Dunn Center - Austin Peay St. vs. Murray St.

The final game of the 2017-18 travel season certainly turned out to be one of the top 3 or 5 most memorable stops of my 112 thus far, but for nothing that had to do with the on-court action itself!  With about 5 minutes left in the game, we all of a sudden hear a huge BANG! in the arena and water starts pouring in near one of the hoops!  Turns out a severe storm had just passed through the area and tore a hole in the roof of the building!  We were moved out of the seating bowl and into some team and coaches offices behind the seats where were waited for an hour or more for the storm to pass and for the teams to decide what was going to be done to complete the game.  We ultimately left after about 90 minutes of waiting, but it turned out that they managed to patch up the roof and complete the game 45 minutes or so after we left.  Murray St. ended up winning the game so not much changed from their 9 point lead established prior to the "weather break."
