It wasn't 24 degrees out there, today. 17 as I passed the stadium just before game time...wind chill around 11 at the start.UDan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 30, 2026 1:41 pmI thought like this until UD Hoops educated me that the sticks don't handle collisions in verging-on-extreme cold well; they could conceivably snap and be a hazard with that. I also don't know if the pads are conducive to layering for 24 (more likely below). UDH, correct me on anything I'm off on here.
