After winning the Atlantic-10 Conference Championship, the 16th ranked Saint Louis Billikens wanted to race from the arena in Brooklyn, N.Y. to the Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to catch CBS’s Selection Show to learn where they would be headed next. However, traffic forced Head Coach Jim Crews to draw up another play…so they pulled the bus over and watched at a Best Buy.

“Traffic has prevented us from getting to airport to see selection show, so yes, we are watching at a Best Buy in Jersey.”

After the Billikens found out they would be heading to San Jose as the #4 seed in the Midwest Regional, they hopped back on the bus and traveled the final eight miles to the airport.
