UConn women’s basketball will begin its season earlier than expected. The Huskies will play UMass Lowell on Dec. 12 at 1 p.m. SNY will carry the action live from Gampel Pavilion.
The game will occur four days after UConn completes its 14-day quarantine. The Huskies paused team activities after a member of the program (but not a player or coach) tested positive for COVID-19. At the moment, players can only work out with other members of their “pod” — the people they live with. Full-team practices can’t begin until Dec. 8, assuming all goes according to plan.
