Can anyone tell me the status of the NU UAH game regarding what has happened this afternoon at UAH?
For those who don't know, there was a faculty shooting at UAH this afternoon at 4pm. No students were involved, but 3 faculty members are dead and 3 others are in critical or serious condition. The alleged shooter was also a faculty member, who began shooting after receiving a decision that she would not be receiving tenure.
There has been a shooting on campus. The shooter has been apprehended. The campus is closed tonight. Everyone is encouraged to go home. Classes are cancelled for tonight. Any additional cancellations or changes will be announced as they become available. There is a Command Center set up at Madison Hall Room 109. Counselors are available in University Center Rooms 125, 126 and 127 for anyone who wishes to speak with a counselor.
It has been confirmed no students are involved.
3-0 RMU after 2 periods?! They don't want BSU to win this conference! BSU needs to be careful, too many losses in this remaining stretch could threaten that potential At-Large bid to fall back on if they were to lose in the conference tourney
Update UAH:
Dr Amy Bishop, a Harvard grad, was denied tenure this morning. Apparently, she took it hard and came back to an afternoon faculty meeting and as "reports" have it, her husband opened the door to the confernece room and she came in shooting. The Biology Department Chair was one of the three fatalities along with 3 more wounded, two of which are currently in stable condition, the third wounded is in critical condition with no prognosis at this time. Five of the victims along with the shooter were teachers, the sixth victim was a department secretary. My daughter, who is a research Molecular Biologist and Post Grad student in that department and whose lab is across the hall from the shooter's lab decided to take the day off today... one can only thank God she did. The "alleged shooter" is in custody along with another (presumably her husband). They have five children that they have just left parentless, not to mention the children of the victims. Totally senseless and just hard to get your mind around...
The immediate impact is - nothing. Still tied for 5th (BC lost tonight too). Since everyone ahead of BSU is likely to win, I'm gonna assume that the Beavs will fall, at most, a spot or two.
The only two teams from 6-10 that are still in action are NoDak and Maine. If the Sioux beat SCSU, that could move BSU up above the Huskies. If Maine beats non-TUC BU, I don't think it will give them a huge bump, but could push them up a spot or two. Not likely high enough to displace BSU, however...

Just got word that tomorrow's UAH/Niagara game has been canceled.
