The back-to-back defending champion UConn Huskies have agreed to a non-conference home-and-home series with the Texas Longhorns, an elite matchup between two college basketball powerhouses. The matchups are already set, with the first game taking place December 8, 2024 in Austin while the return game will be almost exactly one year later on December 12, 2025 in Storrs. These two programs met last season in the Saatva Empire Classic at Madison Square Garden, with the Huskies securing an 81-71 victory behind 20 points from Alex Karaban and 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench from Samson Johnson. UConn loves non-conference challenges, having played Kansas, North Carolina, Gonzaga, Alabama, Oregon, Iowa State, and Florida in the past two years alone.
