From story in the Seattle Times today regarding Washington:
"A normally lengthy trip to Hawaii became a marathon traveling day for the Huskies, who were scheduled to leave for Honolulu at 11:45 Friday morning — but didn't take off until 6:15 p.m. The chartered airplane that was to carry the team experienced mechanical problems that delayed its arrival to Seattle.
Unlike most teams playing Saturday games in Hawaii, who travel on Thursday and Sunday, the Huskies chose to travel Friday and Monday, adding a day onto the end of their trip for the players' enjoyment."
