UConn women’s basketball expecting postseason bubble to be a challenge; Anna Makurat set to return

Geno Auriemma is no stranger to the postseason. His teams have played 97 conference tournament games over his 36 seasons as head coach and UConn has qualified for every NCAA Tournament since 1989, with the Huskies cutting down the nets eleven times during his tenure.

This year will be vastly different than any that Auriemma has experienced before, however. Because of the pandemic, UConn will enter a bubble for the Big East Tournament at Mohegan Sun and then one for the NCAA Tournament in San Antonio. That means once the Huskies go in, they’ll be restricted to their hotel rooms whenever they aren’t on the basketball court.
