UConn Men's CBB Arrives for Final Four After Mechanical Issues with Plane

The UConn's men's basketball team has finally arrived in Arizona after their original aircraft—which was set to depart on Wednesday—was unable to fly due to mechanical issues.

Head coach Dan Hurley told Matt Norlander of CBS Sports that the plane expected to take UConn across the country was going to Connecticut from Kansas City but never made it due to mechanical issues.

Norlander noted that the Huskies would "have to trim its travel party, per a UConn source, but will still be a flight time decision as far as refueling" depending on the overall weight.
