Following a plane accident on the runway Wednesday, the Michigan basketball team will be landing in Washington, D.C. three and a quarter hours before Thursday’s tip with Illinois:
Michigan will meet as a team at 6 a.m. tomorrow in Ann Arbor to depart for the airport. Tip-off will be six hours later in D.C.

Graham Couch, a writer for the Lansing State Journal, made the following connection between Michigan’s travel accident and their players being pampered:
The older the player, the more pampered by major college hoops, the harder this is. Juco guys sometimes arrive just before tip & throw down. https://t.co/XUEBMKX41L

It’s going to be a hectic morning for the Wolverines. Tip-off remains at noon.
