With that being said, the reports I've seen thus far have been fairly clear in the fact that this cancellation request came from Dawn Staley and the South Carolina program. That is to say, UConn is NOT dodging South Carolina. They are now travelling to face a tough DePaul team on Wednesday, 1/26. It's also worth pointing out that South Carolina and UConn have already played this season in the Bahamas when UConn was healthy -- so it's not like they've not played at all this season. 

Geno probably breathed a sigh of relief, thinking "whew, we avoided being at the receiving end 
of a massacre (considering that they are still without BUECKERS and AZZI)..."

It will be interesting to see how they will fare against DePaul, their strongest Big East rival,
without BUECKERS and AZZI.  I would like to be able to watch this one, potentially
has the makings of a nailbiter....
