UConn with flight issues per Matt Norlander's series of tweets -

UConn does not have a plane to fly to Arizona at the moment, Dan Hurley tells @CBSSports . Was supposed to take off at 6 ET, logistical/mechanical issues with the plane coming in from Kansas City forced significant delays. NCAA handles all travel for NCAAT

The issue for UConn (among many) is crew flying plane from KC would be over their FAA hours and can’t fly UConn immediately to Arizona. UConn’s earliest option is to get a smaller plane via Cincinnati that won’t take off until 12:45 am ET and not land until nearly 5 am ET/2 am PT

The plane from Cincinnati would require a fuel stop because it’s smaller. The Huskies are going to get to Arizona with hours to spare before Thursday media availability. They have tried for an hour working every charter possible, but nothing is available for the next five hours.

UConn remains in limbo and waiting on its earliest flight, but barring a stunner, it’s not getting out until we’ll after midnight and will have to stop somewhere to refuel. If it waits on the plane from Kansas City, per Hurley, that crew can’t fly until 10 am ET on Thursday.

Obviously a travel disaster for the No. 1 overall seed. All other teams are on the ground in Arizona. Alabama and Purdue got in yesterday, NC State just landed in the past hour.

Just in, UConn men's team landed in AZ at 3:12 PT (6:12 AM ET) this morning.  Only a couple of hours after when they were scheduled.  

Adjusted sleep schedule; ample time before media event this afternoon; other teams were already there... stress...

Just saw a comical tweet from the B1G -- bragging about being the only conference to send teams to the men's and women's basketball Final Four and the men's and women's Frozen Four (Final Four for hockey). 

But we're the only conference that actually can do so.

Most schools that play Division I hockey are in different conferences for other sports. For instance, Connecticut and Providence skate in Hockey East, but play most other sports in the Big East. Most Ivy league schools that play hockey do so in the ECAC. And many schools that play Division I hockey play Division II basketball.

Both of these teams would have been soooo much more worthy of getting to the NCAA tournament than UVA for example. Probably a handful of others. But UVA for sure.

These announcers seem to be pro-Big East and aren't afraid to show it

Some poor old woman had her nightgown stolen by Myron Medcalf.

P.S. This is some atmosphere.

Incredible run by ISU to end the half....Terre Haute has filled up Hinkle and I am betting Bird is in the house somewhere!

What a game. A lot of fight in both teams.  Should be a good last couple minutes.  Connwell came alive at the right time.
