Both universities released statements expressing their deepest condolences to the victims' families and the UNLV community. Dayton University Athletic Director, Jeff Bjorklund, emphasized the importance of supporting those affected by the tragedy, stating, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the UNLV community and all those affected by this tragedy. We felt it was important to postpone tonight's game to allow time for the UNLV community to process this event and grieve."
The decision to cancel the game was met with understanding and support from fans and players.
