WICHITA, Kan. — Welcome to the live game blog, everyone. You are looking live at one of the culprits behind WVU’s travel troubles yesterday.

A plane was supposed to travel from Minneapolis to Clarksburg yesterday and pick up the Mountaineers and take them here. That plan was compromised by a low ceiling and visibility issues and the plane was nearly re-routed to Pittsburgh, which meant WVU was also headed to Pittsburgh to meet the plane.

Both plane and team were spared and the conditions improved enough to send the charter to Clarksburg. On the way, the plane hit a bird and that collision sent the entire operation through a lengthy process of paperwork and protocol before the plane could leave again. That kept WVU from landing until just before 2 a.m. CST.

It’s 7:51 pm here and my work here is done. Brand new arena has awful WiFi. Enjoy!
