UConn will face Northeastern in the first round of the NIT.
The Huskies and Huskies will meet Tuesday night in Gampel Pavilion at 7 p.m. (ESPN2).
Tickets for the game Tuesday are $10 each, $2 for UConn students.
“With a quick glance at the bracket, it looks like the field is remarkably tough,” said UConn head coach Jim Calhoun said in a statement. “There are plenty of teams that were in position to make the NCAA Tournament and I think that with all of the parity in the field, it will be very difficult to win and advance. Our goal is to continue to play and give it our best. Obviously, playing Northeastern has special meaning for me and for Andre (LaFleur). Northeastern is a place that gave me a chance to be a head coach and a place where I have a lot of great memories. Bill Coen is a really good guy and coach and they are an excellent team that our older guys are familiar with, having played them in 2006 and 2007 in Storrs.”
