Half the fun is getting there
Holy Cross has had its share of travel fun this season -- the train ride to Annapolis stands out as perhaps their most adventurous itinerary -- but you'd have figured traveling to the NCAA Tournament would be a breeze.

Figure again. Instead of a direct flight to Columbus, the Crusaders were forced to fly from Providence to Philadelphia, where they had a two-hour layover before catching another plane to Columbus.

The Crusaders left campus after practicing Wednesday and arrived at their hotel around 10 p.m. last night.

Not sure what brought about the round-about travel plans. A quick check on Expedia showed non-stops from Logan for a cheaper fare than what was available from Providence.

Today's schedule included a team breakfast with films, a late afternoon practice at Columbus State, then their press conference and public workout here at Nationwide Arena, followed by a team dinner tonight.
