The game was later postponed as more information about the tragic incident became available. “We’re hurting for all those affected by this tragedy,” Freeman said on the network, adding that New Orleans had “welcomed us with open arms.”
“You know, the culture of any program — of a nation — is revealed in the toughest moments,” Freeman remarked to the players.
“And I’m confident that this nation will come together in support of New Orleans and all the victims and families impacted today.”
