On Tuesday, Geno Auriemma described the 2020-21 college basketball season as “a rollercoaster ride unlike any we’ve ever been on,” in wake of the UConn women’s basketball matchup with No. 6 Baylor being canceled.
But those words continued to ring true on Wednesday when UConn announced that its Jan. 13 game at Xavier was postponed after the Musketeers paused all basketball activities due to contact tracing.
Right now, the Huskies are set to play on Saturday, Jan. 9 against Providence then again on Jan. 16 against Villanova. If that stands, UConn would end up playing twice in a span of 25 days through no fault of its own.
