Was it cancelled because of issues with McKendree? Or because the weather still sucks and nobody wanted to play when it's in the 30s?
McKendree is saying that the game was cancelled because of "field conditions".
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
That's embarrassing. D1 school and can't have a field properly ready.

Home opener tomorrow (3/24) against St. Thomas.  I dont expect too many green grass stains on the rawhide or britches.  Other than that, anything is possible.
 
 
Embrace the pace of the race.

I see St. Thomas has only won 2 games on the season so it will be interesting to see how this series goes. Would be nice to get a sweep but probably won't happen, WIU seems to not have much luck against St Thomas in any sport.

Time change for Friday's game to beat the expected weather.  The game will now start at 12 Noon.

So was it raining down there or why bad field conditions?

Lots of rain this week. Like, it hasn't rained today, but there's still plenty of standing water in many grassy areas around campus.

ok, they must have been trying to get the field ready because they seemed to call the game pretty late. So they must have thought they could have the field ready.

All games this weekend have been canceled due to a shooting near campus
