MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A mid-Atlantic snowstorm forced West Virginia to modify its NCAA tournament travel itinerary, with administrators opting to bus the team to Buffalo on Monday night instead of risking delays with a Tuesday chart flight.
Coach Bob Huggins said Sunday the team planned to fly, but Monday morning he was tardy for a Big 12 teleconference because of a hastily called travel meeting. After the busing decision came down, the Mountaineers were scheduled to leave campus around 5:30 p.m.
West Virginia (26-8) is scheduled to hold an open shoot-around Wednesday 2:15 p.m. inside the KeyBank Center in Buffalo.
