UConn men's, women's teams to compete in Hall of Fame Exhibition games at Mohegan Sun Arena
For the women's team, it will be their first action since winning their 12th National Championship in April.
The men's team competed in the preseason event last year, defeating the University of Rhode Island Rams 102-75.
The UConn women's basketball team has won the last five Big East Championships, all hosted at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville.
Paige Bueckers returns to Connecticut hoping to get her first win as a pro
Both teams are returning players from last year's seasons, including Alex Karaban and Solo Ball for the men and Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong for the women.
'We had a great experience playing in the Hall of Fame Exhibition game last year,' said UConn men's basketball Head Coach Dan Hurley. 'It's an honor to be asked back and even more special to be competing alongside our championship women's program. The Hall of Fame always puts on top-notch events, and it's an exciting opportunity to take on a quality opponent and give our fans an early look at this year's team.'
Tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster on Aug. 1 and at the Mohegan Sun Arena Box Office on Aug, 2.
'We're excited to participate in another Basketball Hall of Fame event this year,' said UConn women's basketball Head Coach Geno Auriemma. 'It'll be a great day for UConn fans to see both the men's and women's programs at Mohegan Sun to kick off the 2025-26 season.'

The team said Tuesday the 26-year-old from China is expected to make a full recovery. Li was injured in a 97-96 loss to the Sparks on Friday. She averaged 7.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game in her third WNBA season, which was split between Seattle and Dallas. Li was traded in June. The injury to the 6-foot-7 Li is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Wings, who are mired near the bottom of the standings for a second consecutive season. They had the No. 1 pick in the draft this past spring and selected star guard Paige Bueckers. While Bueckers is a heavy favorite to be named WNBA Rookie of the Year, the Wings entered Tuesday with the third-worst record in the league.
