Arizona, UConn hoops announce home-and-home series

The Arizona Wildcats and UConn Huskies men’s basketball teams on Tuesday announced a home-and-home series.

The Wildcats will head to Connecticut in 2025 for a Nov. 19 game. In 2026, the Huskies will travel to Tucson for a Nov. 18 tilt.

Start times and TV broadcasts will be announced at a later date.

In head coach Tommy Lloyd’s fourth season at the helm, the Wildcats went 24-13 last year. They fell to Houston in the Big 12 Championship but made the Sweet 16 with wins over Akron and Oregon in the NCAA Tournament. That’s as far as Arizona would go, though, falling to Duke in the third round.

The Huskies watched the championship from home for the first time in three years after winning the past two under head coach Danny Hurley.

Hurley’s squad went 24-11 this past season. The Huskies beat the Oklahoma Sooners in the first round of the NCAA Tournament but ran out of gas the next round in a 77-75 loss to the Florida Gators.

Florida went on to win the NCAA Tournament with a victory over Houston.

Who leads the all-time series between Arizona and UConn?

The Wildcats and Huskies have faced off seven times, with the latter holding the all-time series lead at 5-2.

That being said, the Wildcats have taken the last two meetings (2017, 2018).
