UConn women’s basketball’s conference tournament will be staying in Connecticut. On Tuesday, the Big East Conference announced it will host its next three championship tournaments at Mohegan Sun Arena through 2023.
“We’re thrilled to have the Big East Tournament come to Mohegan Sun,” head coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement. “We have the best women’s basketball fans in the nation in Connecticut and they’ll be excited to see UConn back in the Big East. Continue wearing masks and taking necessary health and safety precautions so this tournament can take place in 2021.”
Mohegan Sun had been the site of the AAC Tournament for the first seven years of the conference’s existence until UConn’s departure to the Big East this year.
