The 2018 Paradise Jam should provide an interesting challenge for the UConn women’s basketball team. While none of their three opponents in the round-robin tournament will keep head coach Geno Auriemma up at night, the format might. The Huskies will play three games in three days, a rarity at this point in the season.
Granted, the conference tournament requires UConn to play back-to-back-to-back games, but they get a week and a half off to rest up before their next game — usually against the 16-seed in the NCAA Tournament. Now? The Huskies will have just three days off before a midweek test against DePaul.
