UConn women’s basketball releases full nonconference schedule for 2022-23
UConn women’s basketball announced its full nonconference schedule for the 2022-23 season on Wednesday.
The Huskies’ slate is highlighted by a rematch of the 2022 national championship game against South Carolina on Feb. 5. They will also face NC State on Nov. 20 in a rematch of last season’s double-overtime game in the Elite Eight.
With those two programs included, seven of UConn’s opponents finished in the top 20 of the NET rankings last season: South Carolina (No. 1), NC State (No. 2), Texas (No. 7), Maryland (No. 2), Notre Dame (No. 15), Tennessee (No. 19) and Princeton (No. 20).
Following an exhibition game against Kutztown on Nov. 6, the Huskies will open the 2022-23 season at home against Northeastern on Nov. 10. The two teams last met in 2009, with UConn leading the series 11-3.
UConn will play two more games at home after that, against Texas on Nov. 14 and NC State. The Huskies are 8-0 all-time against the Longhorns, with their last meeting in 2018. The contest marks the first of a two-game series that was originally scheduled to begin 2020-21 but was delayed due to COVID-19. UConn will travel to Austin in 2023-24.
The Huskies will then play in the Phil Knight Legacy tournament in Portland on Nov. 25 and Nov. 27, where they could face Duke, Iowa and/or Oregon State. That will be the first neutral site for UConn in the nonconference schedule, as the team will also play Florida State in the Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase at Mohegan Sun Arena on Dec. 18.
UConn’s first true road game of the season comes against Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, on Dec. 4. That will be the second game of a four-game contract with the Fighting Irish, with the Huskies set to host them in 2023-24 and travel to back to South Bend in 2024-25.
Program alum Carla Berube, now head coach at Princeton, will make her return to Storrs on Dec. 8 as UConn takes on the Tigers. It will be the first meeting between the two teams.
UConn will also travel to face Maryland on Dec. 11 and Tennessee on a date still to be determined. The Huskies are 7-0 all-time against the Terrapins, who they haven’t faced since 2017. The two-game series was set to begin in 2020-21 but was delayed due to COVID-19, and Maryland will come to Storrs in 2023-24. The contest with the Volunteers is the second of a two-game series.
The home rematch with the Gamecocks will end the nonconference slate. The canceled game at South Carolina last season has been added to the end of the current contract, with UConn set to travel to Columbia in 2023-24 and 2024-25.
Home venue designations, tip times and TV information will be announced at a later date.
