Texas basketball to host defending champs in home-and-home series starting in 2024

Starting in the 2024-25 men’s basketball season, the Texas Longhorns and UConn Huskies will begin a home-and-home series. After winning back-to-back national championships they will face off with Texas with the first matchup coming on Dec. 8 in Austin. Almost a year later, Texas will travel to Storrs on Dec. 12, 2025.

When these two teams meet in December, Texas will seek revenge. The last time these two teams faced off occurred during the Empire Classic when the Huskies emerged with an 81-71 victory in the 2023-24 season. Alex Karajan led the way offensively for the Huskies with 15 points. Tyrese Hunter had 13 points and seven assists for Texas.

In the all-time series, the Huskies are 3-1 in Austin and 7-3 against the Longhorns overall. In the Huskies’ last visit to Texas in 2015, they won 71-66. For the Longhorns, this game will represent a prime opportunity to prove themselves against one of the best programs in the country.

As the Longhorns prepare for the 2024-2025 campaign, their non-conference schedule is full of exciting matchups. They will also play the Ohio State Buckeyes and NC State Wolfpack. However, their latest meeting with UConn is one that fans are circling on the schedule.

While the season is still months away, excitement is building for what the 2024-2025 season and non-conference play will bring.
