Arizona men's basketball players and coaches called Ubers to get from Indianapolis to Champaign for Saturday's matchup at Illinois after their flight was diverted Friday because of low visibility.

A severe weather system had created tornadoes, snow and heavy rains across the Midwest that we are all learning about as the horrific images from Kentucky and the surrounding region start to come in.

The line on this game has not been significantly impacted by these travel disruptions.

Arizona does have the edge here.
