“The team will change planes and depart at 9:30 p.m. ET, for Maryland from Indianapolis.” As you can see from the tweet below, the Boilermakers did eventually arrive in the DMV, and they are set to battle the Terps tonight.

The official team account posted the following photo if the Boilers boarding their second flight to Maryland. As you can see, it’s an American Eagle (American Airlines’ smaller, commuter line) branded plane, which successfully departed Indianapolis International Airport and landed safely at Baltimore Washington International Airport.
The Boilermakers (12-6, 7-4 Big Ten) are currently ranked #24 in the NET, and projected as a #6 seed in most NCAA Tournament projections. Maryland is 9-8 on the season.
Letโs try this again.
? Take Two.
