UConn men's, women's teams to compete in Hall of Fame Exhibition games at Mohegan Sun Arena
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (WTNH) — The UConn men's and women's basketball teams will compete against the Boston College Eagles on Oct. 13 at Mohegan Sun Arena as a part of the second annual Basketball Hall of Fame Exhibition Event.
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.'
