Geno Auriemma to Miss UConn-Seton Hall Game

STORRS, CT — University of Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma will miss his second straight game when the Huskies host Seton Hall on Wednesday.

Auriemma began feeling "unwell," with flu-like symptoms ahead of last Sunday's game vs. Florida State, officials said. On the advice of medical staff, he will be away from the team through the weekend recouping.

"There’s been a lot going on in the last couple weeks, and I think it caught up to my physically," Auriemma said. "I"ve been feeling under the weather for about 10 days now, and my doctor recommended I take a few days off to fully recover. CD and the coaching staff will continue to do a phenomenal job in my absence, and I look forward to returning to the team in a few days."

Associate head coach Chris Dailey will take over head coaching duties in Auriemma’s absence. Dailey has led the Huskies to a 14-0 record in Auriemma absences.
