• "We’re proud to be involved with the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase and to play a quality opponent like Michigan. It will be a great opportunity for fans to see some of the nation's top talent, and we are excited to be a part of it." – Nicki Collen, Baylor
• "We are extremely excited to play UConn in the 2021 Women’s Showcase at Mohegan Sun Arena. Our experience at Mohegan Sun last year was first class and it’s an honor to participate in this Hall of Fame event. After being unable to play UConn last season as we had hoped, we are thrilled we are able to continue our rivalry." – Jeff Walz, Louisville
• "We are excited to return to Mohegan Sun to play in the Hall of Fame Women's Showcase again. We had a great experience as a team at the event in 2019 and look forward to the same this year. It will be a tremendous opportunity for us to challenge ourselves at the end of our non-conference season, as we prepare for our Big Ten schedule." – Kim Barnes Arico, Michigan
• "We're always excited to have the opportunity to play down at Mohegan Sun. The Basketball Hall of Fame has put together another great Women's Showcase this season. Our fans didn’t have an opportunity to see this team in person last season, so I think it’ll be a great experience for them and for our players." – Geno Auriemma, UConn
