  • NCCU flight cancelled from ATL

    Our daughter's flight routed through ATL to ICT was cancelled this afternoon. NCCU team was on it. She said it looks like that they're splitting-up to get them to ICT in various smaller groups. This could get interesting.

    Let's all say a prayer to get them all here safe and sound. Their safety comes before a basketball game, just as it does when our beloved Shockers are traveling.
    Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

                Doesn't seem fair does it? I say we forfeit the game. Give em the win for all their trouble. What do you guys think? :bball_spin:

                  It isn't fair. I feel bad for them and want their best shot. Hope our guys still don't overlook the game.

                    They're probably being fairly compensated for their troubles.

                      The adrenaline will be FLOWING from them due to this trouble getting here JUST IN TIME. I'm thinking they play out of their minds for their big game with #10 Wichita St. Adversity brings out the best in athletes a lot of the times. Shocks MUST bring their A-game the first half to not fall too far behind at halftime. Don't want NCCU thinking they can steal one on the road against a ranked opponent. C'mon Shocks!!! BRING IT!!!!!!

                        I was thinking the same thing. You never know when what looks like a bad break will be turned into an X factor

                          The channel 12 weather channel said airport delays at Atlanta and Wichita were both zero minutes. I wonder why their flight was cancellekf

                            I've heard some airlines, American in particular, has been known to cancel flights from Chicago to Wichita because it's not full. They'll find some other "official" reason so they don't get in trouble for it. The company I work for has some installers coming back from Canada last weekend who had that happen.

                            Or channel 12's data was incorrect.

                              Upon further review, I think the problem was KWCH. Mid-Continent's flight status page shows numerous delays.
