The Big East Conference announced on Sunday evening that UConn women’s basketball’s game scheduled for Wednesday against Marquette has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within the Golden Eagles’ program.
In accordance with conference rules, the conference will attempt to reschedule the game, but the game’s new date or a timeline for an announcement are both unclear.
Marquette is the first women’s basketball program to miss a game due to COVID-19 protocols within its program, while seven men’s games, including five conference games, have been impacted by COVID-19.
After forcing a team that cannot play due to COVID-19 protocols to forfeit the game, the Big East Conference on Wednesday changed its policy to one of rescheduling any postponed games in the wake of the five men’s games that were affected by the pandemic.
