Final Four teams, fans arrive in Minneapolis as anticipation builds

The Red Raiders of Lubbock, Texas, arrived before noon and were welcomed by crews with red and black pompoms, a pep band and music — first at their airplane hangar and then in the lobby of their hotel, just off Nicollet Mall on S. 7th St.
