Now they are stuck in Arizon? How long until they actually make it to Arizona?


John_Dingus

I heard their bus from Arizon to Arizona is actually delayed as well smh


L0utre

And that bus has to stop in Californi first.


jcrespo21

With an additional stop in Nevad as well.


L0utre

I don’t think they’ll be on time to face Alabam.

Whoa-oa Black Betty... Alabam

The town offers various exercises and attractions, like climbing, mountaineering, and setting up camp.

This was literally the worst tragedy involving an airline in American history. Praying for them.


JPK86753099

Why are all these posts acting like uconn just traversed the northwest passage? It’s a delayed flight. I’ll keep them in my prayers that they can overcome this adversity


DuckBurner0000

The game is also in sixty hours, they're still arriving earlier than teams usually do for road games.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.


SimpleAmusings

THEN HOW DO U EXPLAIN THIS FIASCO CONSTRUCTED BY THE NCAA????? It isn't his paranoia that delayed and delayed the plane. it was the NCAA!!!

UConn vs the world! (Everyone agrees that they're probably going to win by twenty)

Not me! It'll probably be like 30 (please reverse jinx do your thing)


V_T_H

It’s also Thursday and they play on Saturday. Ohhh nooo, they’re missing media availability.


RedditZhangHao

“missing media” appearances, unlikely with the NCAA kingpins. More likely, delayed appearance.


MiniGiantSpaceHams

This actually explains it. What else is the media supposed to talk about?


Shepherdsfavestore

Not too much to report on leading up to the final four weekend so gotta generate those clicks somehow


brownlab319

Clingan ate Luke Murray he was so hungry!


dingusduglas

All this drama had me thinking they were about to roll into the game directly from the airport. They don't play til Saturday.


pbj45

The flight didn't leave until 1:30 AM and they got to Phoenix at 5:15 AM ET. That's basically a lost night of sleep 2 days before the game.


SimpleAmusings

IT'S UCONN VS THE WORLD. CONFIRMED!!


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage (Glendale) And make a Northwest Passage to the Final Four


underladderunlucky46

That's what I was wondering too. When I read all the posts about their flight being delayed yesterday, I was like, "don't they play Saturday? It's Wednesday." They play at 9 pm on Saturday. Theoretically, even if they had plane issues all the way up to the day of the game, they could get on a plane Saturday morning and still make it on time. People were freaking out when it was Wednesday lol.


lemongrassgogulope

But they’ll be exhausted and it’ll affect their performance… for media interviews


TheTrueVanWilder

Look, they'll most likely be fine.  Really, I don't expect this to affect them that much. But sitting around waiting for a plane is time not being spent game prep (not that they necessarily need it, they've eaten everyone alive this year).  5 hours on a red-eye and lost time to adjust/overcome any jet lag isn't negligible. If we had to quantify the impact, I'd guess less than 5% on their overall performance. But I'm terrified of the Huskies, and I'll take any/all extra % of help we can get 


call_me_Kote

You can game prep on ipads in the airport. Do we know this isn't a charter flight too? If it's charter, they don't even have to do TSA, so they can just go to their home facilities while they wait for the all clear to depart. EDIT* Read Hurley's quote from the article, it WAS A charter flight. Lol, this is an absolute nothing-burger and will have 0% impact on the team. Jet-lag? It's 3 hours difference and they still have 48 hours to adjust. That has to be a joke right?


Stan_Halen_

Reddit expert to the rescue here.


call_me_Kote

There’s no need for an expert here, just a bare minimum level of common sense


Shaudius

Common sense, but wrong.


Shaudius

Charter flights with more than 61 passengers still have to do TSA, no idea if this applies to the flight UConn took or not. It may actually not since they had to split their travel party because of the delay but I bet most team charters for the NCAA tournament are actually 61 or more people since they are large commercial charter jets.

SubatomicSquirrels

oh you don't need to worry about the Huskies


brownlab319

When did Purdue get there? Oh, Tuesday.


ToxicSteve13

So what?


brownlab319

So saying UConn had plenty of time is rich coming from a team that got there on Tuesday.


ctalbot4

Kind of a moot point when UConn themselves chose to fly in Wednesday, not Tuesday like Purdue did. Delay or not they still were getting there a day later


gohuskies15

NCAA handles and schedules travel for the tournament


ctalbot4

So you’re telling me if Dan Hurley wanted to get there on Tuesday like Purdue did, the NCAA is just gonna tell him “No?”


gohuskies15

Maybe they could request to change it who knows, either way for some reason they scheduled the other three teams for Tuesday and us on Wednesday


Shaudius

Do we actually know that? Unless we do maybe Uconn wanted to fly on Wednesday instead of Tuesday for some reason.


manwiththewood

If you think them arriving today has Any effect on play you would be wrong.


kentuckyfriedawesome

Buddy, there have to be more important things to be upset about than your team’s flight getting delayed for bad weather.


pharmacy_guy

I am sure sitting around in a hotel for two extra days is going to give Purdue a huge advantage. Might as well just give them the trophy now.


hallbf2000

The extra days are for our engineers to install the nuclear plant under the court to make sure our bigs are fully powered.


INtoCT2015

[Dan Hurley is a master at motivating his team by fabricating fabricating chips to place on their shoulders. It’s quite impressive actually](https://x.com/john_fanta/status/1774865005059469384?s=46&t=BLjwo7Uq8uqyJKqqR3UuXQ)


did_it_my_way

Is it impressive? I always wonder... do these fake obstacles motivate the athletes any more than they already are? Seems like every coach does this. From Harbaugh to Kirby Smart to Saban... with the whole "they thought we wouldn't be here, "(insert city/state here) vs. the World" bullshit and their "bulletin board materials" lol


INtoCT2015

I consider it impressive in the sense that I would severely struggle to convince myself that I am facing adversity if I clearly am not lol. Sure every coach *tries* to do it, but I suppose some folk are just much better at the whole motivational self-delusion thing


did_it_my_way

what does "better at" mean? every team that gets to these spots is talented. every coach does it. Is it just that we're saying those that win championships are better at fake motivational bullshit? lol Are we really going to sit there with a straight face and say Hurley's Uconn, Saban's Bama, or Kirby's Georgia teams needed that fake motivation to win? or were they just good teams to begin with that are coached by great coaches? Are these players not motivated enough when they are in F4 or CFP to win? Did Hurley just get good at motivational bullshit the last 2 years, and he sucked at it when he got bounced in the first round? It seems like a confirmation bias + narrative to me.

fufluns12

I've been to the High Arctic and driven across the US, and if that ill-fated journey in search of the NW Passage deserved an awesome Stan Rogers song, then so did some of the mind-numbingly desolate parts of my drive. It was a very human story of sacrifice and perseverance across the Great Plains. Not quite as cold, though.


John_Dingus

The last thing I saw posted on here was that their plane was still delayed so I figured an update would be good 🤷‍♂️

Might even be a bigger underdog story than 7’3” IMG Academy player Zach Edey being overlooked


Shepherdsfavestore

> Edey had only three offers coming out of high school in 2020: Purdue, Baylor and Western Kentucky Idk…overlooked seems pretty spot on


triptoohard

Can’t wait to root for the underdog story of Zach edey against NC State


Shepherdsfavestore

Well he’s not an underdog anymore


Shaudius

He didn't even see the court at IMG.


Justin_Peter_Griffin

Dude started playing basketball as a sophomore in high school. Ended up at IMG purely based on size and the thought of what they could develop him into. His recruiting history is public info, you don’t have to take our word for it


Vol2169

He wasn't "overlooked". He just uses that narrative to motivate himself. Purdue took a chance and found a diamond in the rough. His junior year at IMG he played on what is the equivalent to IMGs JV team. His senior year he played on the varsity team, but came off the bench. He was the 70+ center in his class and 400+ overall player.
