UConn and Tennessee will play a two-game series in men’s basketball starting in 2010-11, the school announced Wednesday.
The Vols will play at UConn in the 2010-11 season (Hartford or Storrs, TBA) and the Huskies will travel to Knoxville, Tenn., in 2011-12.
“This is a great intersectional series for us to add to our future schedules,” UConn head coach Jim Calhoun said in a statement. “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.
