Pitt-Gonzaga game in Japan canceled at halftime

The season opener for Gonzaga and Pittsburgh was canceled on Friday after the two teams played in hazardous floor conditions in the first half.

The teams traveled to Okinawa, Japan to play in front of the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. Butler. But similar to years' past, extremely slippery conditions — because of humidity and condensation in a very small arena on the military base — forced the NCAA to call the game early.
