The UConn men’s basketball team announced its 11-game nonconference slate on Monday to prepare itself for a grueling 20-game Big East schedule.
The docket is headlined by three games in Portland, Oregon as part of the Phil Knight Invitational. UConn will face Oregon in the first round of the event on Nov. 24, followed by whichever team matches the Huskies’ result between Alabama and Michigan State on Nov. 25. UConn will close with one of Iowa State, North Carolina, Portland or Villanova.
The other big-time games include a visit from Oklahoma State on Dec. 1 as part of the Big East-Big 12 Battle, while the Huskies will head to Gainesville to play Florida on Dec.
