UK plans to fly from Portland to Maui, Hawaii, Friday night after playing the Pilots in the Rose Garden.
Why?
UK spokesman DeWayne Peevy said Coach John Calipari wanted to go as soon as possible to lessen the adjustment for the players’ body clocks. There is two hours difference in time between the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii.
So Kentucky will be on Maui two full days (Saturday and Sunday) before beginning play Monday in the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
