UConn Basketball & Football Preview | Big East Basketball News

UConn men’s basketball faces one of the toughest non-conference schedules ever, battling Final Four teams like Illinois, Arizona, and Michigan, plus powerhouses Duke, Virginia, Ohio State, and Kansas — even their exhibition games are stacked with Syracuse, Michigan State, and Purdue. Conference play offers some scheduling relief with no three-game road or home stretches, but ends with a brutal stretch: Marquette on the road, then Providence and St. John’s at home — both expected to be strong under new coaching.
