From @KYwildcatsTV:
The team arrives on an icy LSU campus for tonight’s game. #BBN #WeAreUK
With freezing rain settling in to the Baton Rouge area, the Cats have been forced to change earlier plans to fly home following tonight’s game vs. LSU. WDRB’s Steve Andress is in Baton Rouge:
The #UK #BBN basketball team has already changed original plan of flying back to LEX tonight.Will have to stay another night in Baton Rouge.

The weather is having an impact on travel plans for fans as well. Here is a picture inside Pete Maravich Assembly Center about an hour and a half before tip. Doors opened at the arena at 7:30 ET so there is still plenty of time for those experiencing traffic and parking delays to arrive.

The media contingent is also down to a handful of Kentucky outlets:
Looks like officially none of the UK beat writers were able to get to Baton Rouge for UK-LSU. One photog, one TV guy from KY made it there.
