YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team has received plenty of publicity after word got out that a routine trip home from Buffalo, N.Y., Jan. 19, was anything but.
Normally a six hour cruise home, the team spent better than 14 hours attempting to get back to Michigan after a closure along I-90 West sent the team on a detour it will never forget. After 6.5 hours of waiting along a snow-covered and elevated road, helping others move their vehicles, getting the team bus towed, and even spending some time with the local fire department, the team made it safely home.
