Traffic problems? In New York City? Who'da thunk it?The Columbia-Hofstra basketball game was postponed because the Lions were stuck in heavy traffic Wednesday night. The team bus was caught in rush-hour traffic trying to go the 35 miles from Manhattan for the game scheduled at 7 p.m.
The schools were in contact during the delay. They decided it was best to postpone the game to Feb. 14 when it became apparent the Lions would not arrive in a reasonable amount of time. A Hofstra spokesman said a forfeit was never discussed because Columbia's traffic problems were beyond its control.
