<br />ESPN Basketball Broadcast Delayed Due to <br />North Carolina Water Shortage <br />By Laughing Place Disney Newsdesk - <br />Feb 3, 2017 <br /> <br />Due to a water shortage at the UNC campus, the men’s college basketball game <br />where North Carolina is due to take on Notre Dame has been rescheduled from <br />6pm on Saturday to 1pm on Sunday. The game, which had been scheduled to <br />air on ESPN, will now air on ESPNEWS. Ohio State vs Michigan, which was <br />scheduled to air on ESPN2 will now move to ESPN to fill the void on Saturday. <br />The rescheduled game could not be accommodated on the main ESPN network <br />due to their airing of Postseason NFL Countdown ahead of the Super Bowl. <br />The Raleigh News and Observer reported that a “major water main” broke and <br />forced the university to cancel afternoon classes on Friday at 1 p.m. Campus <br />classes and offices remain closed. The Orange County Health Department <br />ordered local residents to NOT use water from the Orange Water and Sewer <br />Authority (OWASA) until further notice because it may not be safe. <br />Under this “Do Not Drink” order, only bottled water is recommended for all <br />water needs including flushing toilets, washing hands and cooking. Boiling water <br />is NOT recommended.
