STORRS – The UConn men's basketball team has announced a home-and-home series with perennial power Arizona, set to begin on Nov. 19, 2025 in Connecticut. The Huskies will return the game on Nov. 18, 2026 in Tucson.
The Huskies are no strangers to stiff non-conference tests and Arizona will continue that trend. The Wildcats finished No. 13 in the final Kenpom rankings in 2024-25 and have been a top-15 squad in all four seasons under head coach Tommy Lloyd.
Connecticut and Arizona have squared off seven times in the past, with UConn holding a 5-2 lead in the series that began in the 1999-2000 season. That meeting came in the Great Eight Basketball Classic in Chicago. UConn then swept a home-and-home series with the Wildcats that was played in the 2000-01 and 01-02 seasons, taking the two games by a combined four points.
The sides met in 2005 at the Maui Invitational, with UConn taking a 79-70 Semifinal victory. UConn and Arizona next locked horns again in a tournament setting, with the Huskies topping the Wildcats 65-63 in the 2011 West Regional Final. Arizona has taken the last two meetings, coming in a home-and-home from 2017-18.
The Arizona game is the second announced piece of UConn's 2025-26 schedule. The Huskies will host Texas on Dec. 12, 2025 as a return game of UConn's triumph in Austin this season.
