West Virginia landed in Minneapolis at about 3:30 a.m. yesterday, about 10 hours before the Mountaineers were scheduled to practice for their first-round game against Dayton. Needless to say, that's not how it was planned. The airplane the NCAA chartered for the team had mechanical problems at the airport in Clarksburg, W.Va., a few miles from campus in Morgantown. The problem was thought to be fixed once, but the crew encountered more trouble that forced a scramble for a second plane and flight crew from Atlanta through Delta Air Lines. "I don't know what I want to say," Coach Bob Huggins said. "I'm trying to be kind." To fill the time, the Mountaineers went bowling and saw some movies in town before finally boarding the aircraft after midnight. They arrived at the team hotel after 4 a.m.

Hopefully Huggy just closed his eyes and counted to 10. We don't need him having any more heart attacks.
