It’s not often you see a rain delay at a basketball game.

A leak in the roof at the Von Braun Center’s Propst Arena in Huntsville has delayed the Conference USA men’s basketball championship game.

The game, which pits Jacksonville State against Liberty, was originally set to tip off at 7:30 p.m.

Officials say that during warmups, there was a drop of water frequently falling on the court.

Players took the court before Jax State coach Ray Harper took note of the water to officials, which prompted game officials to put towels over the spot of the leak near Jax State’s bench.

Officials said that the Von Braun Center staff is assessing if the roof can be fixed, and if not, the game would be postponed.

According to the CBS Sports Network broadcast, officials were trying to find a lift that will help them reach the leak in the roof to repair it.

Staff placed multiple tarps under the leak in the roof to catch the water that was falling on the court.

Players came back out of the locker rooms at 8:27 p.m. and had 10 minutes to warm up before the game tipped off following the staff suspending the tarps under the leak.

Liberty claimed the regular-season championship, entering the Conference USA championship game at 27-6 overall and 13-5 in Conference USA.

Jacksonville State finished second in the conference and is 22-11 on the year and 12-6 in CUSA.

The winner of the game will claim the conference championship and advance to the NCAA tournament. Jax State last appeared in the NCAA tournament in 2022 and Liberty’s last appearance was in 2021.
