What a long, strange trip it has been.
Michigan squeaked past hapless Indiana, 72-66 in overtime, on Wednesday night in Bloomington, then the real headache began.
The Wolverines' charter plane had a mechanical problem and the team had to take a bus. The bus wasn't prepared for the 300-plus-mile trip to Ann Arbor and had to stop in Indianapolis for fuel and a driver change.
In challenging weather conditions, the bus rolled toward Ann Arbor and finally arrived on campus at 4:30 a.m.
Michigan sports information director Tom Wywrot said players did have some comforts on the bus. It was equipped with wireless Internet and satellite TV, which allowed the players to watch the end of the Gonzaga-Tennessee game.
