If there’s McDonald’s in that bag, Miami coach Jim Larranaga might be ‘lovin’ it’

If the celebrated prankster, who appeared to carry a bag of food onto the court at Duquesne on Wednesday, wants to move his act a couple miles up to the road to Petersen Events Center, Miami coach Jim Larranaga probably won’t have him removed.
“I love McDonald’s,” Larranaga said Thursday on a Zoom conference call, previewing Miami’s game Saturday at Pitt. “I’d probably just take the sandwich bag and eat it on the sideline.”
After all, the game does tip at 4 p.m., so it will be almost supper time. Should Pitt officials double security around the court’s perimeter?
Duquesne’s game with Loyola Chicago was briefly stopped Wednesday when someone disguised as a DoorDash delivery man carried a bag of McDonald’s food onto the court at Cooper Fieldhouse, only inches from the players. Larranaga said he cared enough about the incident to click on the video several times.

“I’ve seen pigeons fly on the court. I’ve seen dogs run on the court. I’ve seen fans come out of the stands and run on the court,” Larranaga said. “I’ve never seen a delivery man.”
Larranaga’s team (16-4, 7-3) is ranked 20th in the nation and is tied with Pitt for third place in the ACC.
