Other than the small clot of reporters gathered by the bus, there was no other indication the University of Miami men’s basketball team was heading off to its biggest business trip of the season Tuesday morning.
The Hurricanes looked relaxed, like a team going to the NCAA Tournament for a second year in a row.
They loaded up the bus with luggage and snacks (Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies and Nutty Buddies, Cheez-its, Oreos) and left to the airport to board a flight bound for Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they will play Michigan State at 9:15 p.m. Friday in the first round at the BOK Center.
