They got about an inch and a half of heavy rain on Monday and steady rain yesterday..the rain has held off most of today so far, but sounds like the field isn't drying out..and more storms are expected this afternoon..doubt they play today, and will be tough for them to get it started early tomorrow with all the water the field has taken on. Will be curious how they get all the games in by Sunday.

The Big South just announced that there will be no games today.

The Sun Belt Tournament is being hosted by Georgia Southern and having the same issues. They just announced they are switching to single elimination. Will the Big South possibly do the same? If they can get 4 games in tomorrow, they could still get it done by Sunday...but that's a big 'if'.

Why not just keep playing around the clock?

There could be issues with local noise and lights abatement laws concerning that, but otherwise, I would think they may need to do something along those lines. The other option would be to cancel the whole tourney and name the regular season champions (Winthrop) as the BSC representative in the NCAA tourney. Any more rain, and it could come to that.

I haven't seen a report yet today about field conditions...if they can get started today at 11am as planned, then they can still fit in the tournament barring any further setbacks (and the weather forecast is pretty good from now until the end of the weekend)...but if they can't start on time today, they'll have to alter the format...

If Im reading the Big Soth website (Im surprised someone hasn't noticed that yet) correctly, it would be on Sunday. The time Sunday depends on how things shake out
