UConn's men's basketball team boarded a flight Friday at Bradley International Airport in Hartford under bright blue -- but frigid -- skies. Bundled up in their winter's best, the No. 2 Huskies had to be hoping to head somewhere warm.

Alas, no. The destination is Omaha, Neb., where they will meet nemesis Creighton on Saturday night in Big East play. According to the Weather Channel, the forecast for Omaha was minus-2 degrees on Friday night and a high of 25 on Saturday.

Can't shed that winter gear yet, gentlemen.
