Defending national champion UConn's journey to a second consecutive Final Four hit a snag as the team encountered travel issues on their way to Arizona. The Huskies, who were set to depart from Connecticut on Wednesday night, were grounded due to mechanical problems with their original plane.
The team faced challenges in securing an alternative flight due to adverse weather conditions on the East Coast and regulations concerning the rest period required for the flight crew. As a result, the original crew was unable to depart before 10 a.m. on Thursday.
