No. 10 Florida led Georgetown 27-23 at halftime of the Navy-Marine Corps Classic, then the game aboard an aircraft carrier was called off because the court became too wet.

The game aboard the USS Bataan, in Jacksonville, Fla., was the second game canceled due to condensation on the deck of a ship Friday. Earlier, officials called off No. 4 Ohio State vs. Marquette on the USS Yorktown in South Carolina.

Like Ohio State-Marquette, Florida-Georgetown will not be made up. The game will not count.

"Obviously we're very, very disappointed," Gators coach Billy Donovan told the crowd. "We want to play, but the problem is the floor."

Donovan said continuing the game would put players' safety in jeopardy.

Weather conditions also forced the San Diego State-Syracuse game, which will be played on the flight deck of the decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Midway in San Diego, Calif., to be postponed until Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.
