UConn’s women’s basketball team tipped off its season Wednesday night, but they started the campaign with an early and unexpected two-point lead courtesy of a bizarre violation of the rules by Dayton.
The Huskies were awarded a pair of technical free throws after a member of the Flyers’ starting five checked into the game wearing the wrong jersey number.
Dayton guard Destiny Bohanon, who was registered by the team as wearing the jersey No. 33, checked into the game for the opening tip off donning the No. 53 jersey.
