STORRS, Conn. – The University of Connecticut and the University of Tennessee have reached an agreement on a two-game series in the sport of men’s basketball, it was announced Wednesday.
The Huskies and Vols will meet at Connecticut in the 2010-11 season and then meet in Knoxville in the 2011-12 campaign.
“This is a great intersectional series for us to add to our future schedules,” said UConn head coach Jim Calhoun. “It will be an exciting match-up of styles and players, something fans of both teams can look forward to. For us, it continues our tradition of trying to schedule some of the best teams in the country, such as this year, where we will play at Michigan (Jan. 17) and Texas at home (Jan. 23), as well as Kentucky (Dec. 9) in New York and also the Pre-Season NIT.”
The remainder of UConn’s 2009-10 non-conference schedule will be released within the next few weeks and the complete 2009-10 schedule is expected to be released in late August or early September.
UConn finished 31-5 in 2008-09 and advanced to the NCAA Final Four. The Huskies finished 15-3 in the BIG EAST, tied for second place.
