DETROIT — Washington’s Saturday game at Michigan State has been moved to 2:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. ET after the FAA’s nationwide ground stop delayed the Huskies’ Friday travel to East Lansing by more than six hours.
The game was originally scheduled for 1:15 p.m. PT/4:15 p.m. ET. It will still air on Big Ten Network.
UW’s team charter left Boeing Field in Seattle at 7:49 p.m. PT, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware, with a 2:20 a.m. ET estimated time of arrival at Capital Region International Airport in Lansing, Mich.
The team was originally scheduled to fly in the 1 p.m. PT hour before the FAA grounded all air traffic due to communication issues impacting air route traffic control centers. The Huskies were on buses at Boeing Field when the news broke, then returned to campus in the interim. The FAA lifted the ground stop at 5:15 p.m. PT.
The Washington men's basketball team's game at Utah was rescheduled to 11:30 a.m. Sunday due to the ground stop disrupting UW's travel. The game was originally scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday.
