UConn is 7-4 all-time vs. Iowa, with their most memorable matchup coming in the 2024 Final Four, when Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes edged Paige Bueckers and the Huskies, 71-69, to book a place in the national championship game. South Carolina ended up defeating Iowa for the title.

The two squads faced off again last season in the Women’s Champions Classic at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the top-ranked Huskies cruised to a 90-64 win over the No. 11 Hawkeyes.

Tip times, TV and ticket information will be announced at a later date.

UConn has several key nonconference matchups already announced for next season, with games at Michigan, against South Carolina at Mohegan Sun, vs. Duke in Boston and Maryland at the Barclays Center.
