The starting time for Tuesday night's quarterfinal-round game of the 2009 North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament between Wabash and Hiram has been moved to 7 p.m.
The change in the start time was agreed upon by both schools and the NCAC office to assist in the total travel time involved for the Wabash basketball team on its return to Crawfordsville, Indiana from Hiram after the game Tuesday. Tipoff was originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
