RUSTON - Instead of flying to El Paso Wednesday morning as originally scheduled, Tyler Summitt and the Louisiana Tech Lady Techster basketball team practiced at Scotty Robertson Memorial Gym for two hours.

Summitt and Co. were scheduled to fly out of Monroe mid-morning but due to the winter weather that blanketed east Texas and north Louisiana, flights were cancelled.

The travel issues forced LA Tech, Conference USA, UTEP and UTSA officials to work together to figure out alternate plans with the Lady Techsters now forced to attempt to get to Dallas and fly out late Thursday morning.

LA Tech was scheduled to play at UTEP Thursday and at UTSA on Saturday. However, both games have been changed. Tech will now play at UTEP Friday at 1 p.m. CT (12 p.m. MT) and at UTSA on Sunday (game time still yet to be determined).

The Lady Techsters are scheduled to bus to Dallas this afternoon and fly out in the late morning.
