It’s game day for the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team as they will take on transfer Jessica McCormack’s old team, the Washington Huskies in the Caribbean Classic in Cancun. Unfortunately, there is no television coverage of the game but you can listen to it at WTIC-1080 on your AM radio dial at 5:00 PM with tip-off scheduled now for 5:30 PM. And if you’re still at work, you can also listen to the game live online at WTIC.com.
Due to the transfer rules, Jessica McCormack can’t travel with the team. But she’s okay with that as she probably would not have wanted to talk to her former coach Tia Jackson.
