A rematch of the 2026 NCAA Final Four now anchors an early stretch of the NCAA Division I women's basketball calendar, as coach Geno Auriemma leads the UConn Huskies in his 42nd season at the helm.
The schedule sees UConn women's basketball square off with the South Carolina Gamecocks on November 24th at Mohegan Sun Arena, with tickets on sale starting September 4th.
UConn Women's Basketball Meets South Carolina After Final Four Fallout
Ahead of the 13th annual Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase, spill-over tensions between the programs runs high.
Back in April, the Gamecocks knocked off an undefeated Huskies squad in the national semifinal. Moments after the final buzzer, UConn Huskies coach Geno Auriemma traded sharp words with Dawn Staley near the sideline. He apologized publicly the next day, calling the outburst out of character.
Now the two staffs reset just minutes from Storrs.
Sarah Strong headlines the returning UConn core after sweeping the 2026 National Player of the Year honors. Staley, meanwhile, brings back her usual title-caliber depth.
Beyond the Mohegan Sun showcase, the Huskies' non-conference slate also features Notre Dame, Tennessee, Duke, Maryland, and LSU.
