With its first exhibition game less than two weeks away, UConn women’s basketball is still left wondering if Evina Westbrook will be eligible to play this season. The Huskies filed a waiver that would allow the Tennessee transfer to play immediately but are left to wait in the dark for the NCAA’s decision.
“We don’t know anything,” head coach Geno Auriemma said. “Sending a waiver to the NCAA is like making a phone call or writing a letter to the DMV — it’s anybody’s guess when you’re going to get a response.”
This is the first time UConn has filed a waiver for a player.
