Duquesne University’s men’s basketball team was stuck overnight on the snow-closed Pennsylvania Turnpike as traffic stoppages stretched back miles in a massive snowstorm climbing up the East Coast.
Coach Jim Ferry said the team bus got stuck around 9:15 p.m. on Friday and hadn’t moved since.
‘We haven’t moved one inch in 12 hours,’ he said on Saturday morning.
Ferry said his players are running out of the leftover pizza they bought on the way home from an 86-75 win over George Mason on Friday.
‘We’re getting pretty hungry,’ he said. ‘We hope it starts moving pretty soon.’
The men’s team’s Twitter account, Duquesne Basketball, tweeted Saturday: ‘Update: a fire department has arrived with cases of water for all stranded vehicles, including our bus.’
