UConn vs Ohio State Rivalry Returns | UConn Huskies Basketball News

UConn’s men’s basketball team is diving headfirst into a fiery new rivalry with Ohio State, locking in a home-and-home series for 2026-27 and 2027-28. The first clash? November 13, 2026, in Connecticut. This isn’t just any matchup — these two have battled seven times since 1983, with UConn finally getting its revenge in the 1988 NIT title and then dethroning them in the 1999 Final Four on their way to their first NCAA crown. After splitting a recent home-and-home series in 2015-17, this one’s loaded with history. But it’s just one piece of UConn’s brutal non-conference slate — they’re also facing Michigan, Arizona, Duke, Illinois, and Kansas, plus exhibition games against Syracuse, Purdue, and Michigan State. This schedule? Pure championship fuel. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
