The Nov. 28, 2001 game between Michigan State and Virginia was cancelled with 15:04 in the second half, due to a wet floor at the Richmond Coliseum. When the game was called, Virginia led 31–28.[1] Two days after the game, Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage announced that the game would not be finished or restarted.[2]
