Soon after the 23rd-ranked BYU Cougars men’s basketball team upset the 10th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones 88-85 in double overtime on the road Tuesday night, conversations began happening on social media about fans congregating at the airport to welcome the squad back to Utah.
Those plans were ruined, however, when the team ended up not being able to leave Des Moines, Iowa, because of bad weather in the area.
As it turned out, the Cougars remained stranded in Iowa for nearly the entire day Wednesday.
They were finally able to return home late Wednesday night.
Despite the delay, fans — most notably members of The ROC student section — still showed up to welcome the team back.
A day later than expected thanks to some wild winter weather in the Midwest, but the @BYUMBB travel party came back to this a few minutes ago—
Shout-out to the @byuROC for the warm welcome on a cold night!

How many schools have fans that wait 24 hours (we got stuck in Iowa due to weather) and stand in freezing rain at 12:30 AM to greet their team after a big win over @CycloneMBB? I see you @byuROC! 👀 https://t.co/1p0M9hkelW

The Cougars are arguably the hottest team in the entire country right now, as they’ve won seven straight games — including road wins over Arizona and now Iowa State.
BYU will close out regular season play Saturday night at home against rival Utah before the Big 12 tournament next week.
