PCC-Guilford Tech Matchup Postponed
(02/05/2010)
Pitt Community College basketball will have to wait a little longer for a chance to end its current four-game slide. Inclement weather has prevented Guilford Tech from traveling to Greenville, forcing the postponement of Saturday's game between the Bulldogs and Trojans.
Saturday's contest against GTCC was billed as "PCC Alumni Day," but the game's postponement means that event will now take place Feb. 27, when the Bulldogs face Wake Tech at 3 p.m.
All Pitt alumni who attend the Wake Tech game will receive free admission and have an opportunity to speak with a PCC Alumni Association representative about the college's efforts to reconnect with former students.
The PCC-Johnston Community College basketball game scheduled for Sunday (Feb. 7) is still on for a 3 p.m. tip in the Charles Coburn Center. The game will feature the Pitt County Special Olympics basketball team playing a 20-minute contest at halftime.
PCC Basketball is 8-10 overall this season, 3-6 in the Region X Conference.
