This strange night needed Milli Vanilli.
How appropriate that the pseudo sngers' song Blame it on the Rain bared throughout Chase Field on Monday night. Rain forced the Arizona State-Texas Tech game to be called with 4:18 left.
At least the women's basketball teams can say they played in the second outdoor game, or better yet, they made history by being the first college basketball teams to play in a game that was rained out at a professional baseball facility. They were going to continue playing the game when the first drops came. A skeleton crew extended a maroon tarp on the court with the Phoenix Mercury's logo, and the retractable roof was being closed, but officials decided it was too risky to continue playing on a wet court. ASU had a comfortable lead, 61-45, when it was all over for the 7,791 fans who braved the cold.
