GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Defending national champion UConn finally touched down in Arizona for the Final Four at 3:15 a.m. Thursday after a long delay and a red-eye flight. After the plane they were supposed to take had mechanical issues getting to the East Coast, the Huskies took off in a smaller Allegiant Air plane from Bradley International Airport near Hartford hours later for the flight to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. UConn is scheduled to play  Alabama on Saturday night in the semifinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The championship game is Monday night. Alabama and Purdue arrived in Arizona on Tuesday night, and North Carolina State came in Wednesday afternoon.
