UConn women’s basketball will play a road contest against No. 15 Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday, Jan. 28, the school announced Wednesday. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. on ESPN2.
“When Vanderbilt opted out of the season Monday, we were lucky enough that UConn had a common open date as ours,” Arkansas head coach Mike Neighbors said. “A few texts and a couple of calls later, we got it all set.”
After the Huskies’ game against Georgetown on Saturday, Jan. 23, they weren’t scheduled to play again until Sunday, Jan. 31. By adding the Razorbacks to the slate, UConn will try to avoid another long layoff between games.
