Fairleigh Dickinson basketball team gets stuck in elevator in bizarre delay before LIU game
The Fairleigh Dickinson men’s basketball team had a tough time getting to its meeting with Long Island University on Thursday.
The matchup between the Knights and Sharks had to be delayed after FDU players got stuck in the elevator at Steinberg Wellness Center in Brooklyn while trying to get from the locker room to the court.
The players spent 15 minutes in the “hot” elevator, and they were eventually rescued by the FDNY.
