The MU players and coaches were joined by University administrators, family members, the pep band and cheerleaders.

After getting organized in the team headquarters, the team will eat dinner prior to a film session and the 9 p.m. ET opening tip for the BYU/Iona game.  This year's hotel features truTV, an appreciated bonus for the coaching staff as it tries to keep up with tournament action across the country.

Wednesday's schedule includes practice at Louisville's Cardinal Arena, the official NCAA open practice and media sessions with head coach Buzz Williams and seniors Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom.
