Benedict says Bubbleville didn't cause the COVID positive, but "it's hard to really have a bubble unless you go in, quarantine for a period of time, and get through a bunch of negative tests beforehand."

Benedict: "It's hard to plan right now because of the fluid situation...we'll plan and do our best. When we have to pivot, we'll pivot, and when there's no place to pivot, there's no place to pivot."

Benedict did laugh at the idea that UConn would be playing road games "soon."
