The UConn men's basketball team is leaving for the Final Four in Arizona late on Wednesday night after a confluence of issues delayed their trip out of Connecticut, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
The team's departure was pushed to 11:30 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday because of mechanical issues, which in turn led to crew issues. Also, the mechanical issues made it difficult to secure a plane large enough to accommodate the team's travel party, sources told Thamel.
UConn's flight was originally scheduled to leave at about 6 p.m. ET.
The team expects to arrive in Arizona around 2 a.
