UConn Men's 2025-2026 Basketball Schedule

Bucks/Knicks at MSG on Black Friday. Maybe UConn isn't playing Illinois there anymore? Or NBA/CBB doubleheader?

 
It's official: this is THE BEST non-conference schedule we have ever put together. 5 Top 25 teams, at least 2 of which are widely considered Top 10. Texas is just outside in the 3 polls I saw.

For all the bitching and moaning here over the years (and certainly some of it was warranted) about our Out Of Conference home schedule both Arizona and Texas should be great games. 2 MSG games, a TD Bank tilt against a Top 10 BYU and a road trip to Phog Allen.

Great job by Hurley and Benedict! If they can pull something close to this off every year, then I have no problem with not being in any of the pre-season tournaments. Sorry to those of you who looked forward to The Atlantis, Maui and other exotic ports of call for a week but this schedule more than makes up for it, in my mind.

I can't wait to get this rolling! 😍 Bring on BC and !!!!

It's also set up for success. Arizona and Texas at home with three neutral site games in Boston and MSG which are basically going to be home games. Our one road game is Kansas, who we already played at their place two seasons ago. The squad will be looking for revenge and they're going to be ranked significantly ahead of KU heading into the season.
 
Waiting on the full splits for sites. How I think it will play out with the ones we know:

Hartford: Michigan State, Texas, UMass Lowell, Columbia

Gampel: Arizona, ETA&M, Bryant UNH,

I think most realistic fans expect you aren't going to win every one of those top games. Unless this team ends up being a total wagon but we won't know what until they win most or all of them.

Note UK fans, which unfortunately don't have the necessary psychiatric resources (other than Bourbon). As hard as we try, our expectations and general lunacy will never match that fanbase.
 
Flights to Lawrence from Hartford are less than $300, leaving on the 2nd and coming back on the 3rd. Hotel walking distance to Allen is less than $150, very affordable trip.

Flight to KC you mean, right? Wait until you see ticket prices for the game. Single game tickets aren't on sale yet. Upper sides are about $700 on StubHub, corners less (packed in very tight over there, students have most of the corners). Where are you staying for $150 that you can walk to AFH? The Oread is really the only walkable hotel and it is already sold out (and would be more than that). How are you getting from MCI to Lawrence?

Not trying to discourage any Husky fans from the trip, I hope many make it, just being realistic. The TownePlace Suites on New Hampshire downtown is nice and is $215 for two Queens. SpringHill Suites is a good location too, an old mill on the river that used to be an outlet mall. I would not trust air travel on the day of the game, but that's just me.

This game being a Tuesday is a bit of a bummer. Debating whether to make the effort, if I do it will probably be so I can introduce another Husky fan to AFH.

$1500 to go to this basketball game? I guess if you have money to burn. Forthat kind of money, take the wife to Ruth Chris and then watch it on a huge screen in a sports bar. Better food, more enjoyment and save $1000.

Would be nice to check the box but so many other amazing OOC games locally that doesn’t make sense to go midweek. Need more than just that game to make it worth that kinda trip, like a cool nearby city or if the Chiefs were playing that Sunday.
 
Do we know what time the Arizona game is yet? Wife got me tickets as a wedding present this weekend (clearly picked a winner there) and trying to work out logistics now. I'm assuming it'll be 7
