UConn’s return to Big East Conference play will have to wait at least another few days.
The Huskies’ slated game at Providence on Dec. 17 has been postponed to a later date following instruction from the Connecticut Department of Public Health.
According to a release sent out by UConn, the CT DPH advised UConn against playing a game before completing its recommended modified quarantine of 14 days.
The Huskies have been on pause since Sunday, Dec. 6, when a player tested positive for COVID-19. A non-Tier-1 member of the staff later also tested positive. The program has not had any other positive tests since then, and if that continues, the team will be allowed to return to practice on Monday, with additional risk-mitigation strategies in place until the 14-day quarantine is complete on Dec. 20.
