Matt Maddock claims 'illegal invaders' arrived at Detroit Metro Airport. It was the Gonzaga Bulldogs mens basketball team.

This weekend, Detroit hosts four teams for the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 – the Creighton Blue Jays, the Tennessee Volunteers, the Purdue Boilermakers, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The teams all arrived this week from their respective campuses – and one of them drew the ire of a Republican lawmaker, who claimed they are "illegal invaders".

"Thursday afternoon, the Wayne County Airport Authority tried to debunk the false claims."The four men’s basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening. The buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs," the WCAA said.Allegiant doesn't even fly to Detroit. In fact, Detroit is not listed as an option on Allegiant's website.
