SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced on Wednesday (May 28) that the UConn men's and women's basketball teams will headline a split doubleheader in the Hall of Fame Exhibition Game. The Huskies will both take on Boston College in a pair of preseason contests at Mohegan Sun Arena on Monday, Oct. 13 (Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day).
Men's and women's basketball season ticket holders will have a priority presale opportunity at a date to be announced. Regular ticket on-sale, tip times and broadcast information will be announced at a later date.
The UConn men played in the inaugural Hall of Fame exhibition at Mohegan Sun a year ago, taking down Rhode Island 102-75. The women's squad is no stranger to Mohegan and has played a near-annual regular season game at the venue in addition to winning the last five BIG EAST Tournaments all held in Uncasville.
While the exhibitions will not count towards the respective all-time series, Connecticut and Boston College have a long history dating back to 1918 on the men's side and 1981 on the women's. The women have compiled a dominant 34-9 record against the Eagles while the men are 55-35.
Both UConn teams are expected to enter the 2025-26 season near the top of the national polls. The 12-time and defending national champion women's team returns a slew of talent including Final Four MOP Azzi Fudd and National Freshman of the Year Sarah Strong and brings in a top class. The six-time champion men ride a five-year NCAA Tournament streak into the season a year removed from back-to-back titles and return All-Conference performers Alex Karaban and Solo Ball along with a top class of their own.
Additional schedule information for each program will be announced over the course of the offseason.
