Loyola Chicago late for practice due to bus driver mistake

Loyola Chicago's underdog run to the Sweet 16 met its latest roadblock on Wednesday when the team bus driver couldn't find the correct entrance to Philips Arena in Atlanta.

The Ramblers face Nevada on Thursday night at the venue, but struggled to arrive on time for practice when their police escort failed to show, leaving the bus driver to find the drop-off point - without success.

"No one knew how to get here," head coach Porter Moser told Dan Wolken of USA Today. "It was a 35, 40-minute (trip), but you overcome. I told our guys, it's our first thing to overcome. It's like getting a couple of turnovers early, you put it behind you and overcome."

Loyola Chicago has been arguably the most exciting team in the tournament thus far, relying on two shots in the dying seconds to upset No. 6 Miami and No. 3 Tennessee.

While Moser wasn't impressed with the snag, the players were keeping a positive mind on the experience.

"Atlanta is beautiful and we got to see all the sights," guard Ben Richardson said. "That's how I'm going to take it in as a chance to see the sights."
