According to a report by CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein , the BYU Cougars are finalizing an agreement to play a school that has enjoyed immense success in recent seasons.
Fresh off of a trip to the Sweet 16 under new head coach Kevin Young, the Cougars reportedly are finalizing an agreement to play UConn at the TD Garden, home of the Boston Celtics , on November 14 or 15.
UConn has historically been one of the country's premier programs, and under head coach Dan Hurley, won back-to-back NCAA championships in 2023 and 2024.
UConn and BYU have met once before, in the 2003 NCAA Tournament first round. Behind 20 points from Emeka Okafor , the Huskies defeated the Cougars 58-53.
The Cougars also set dates for the 2025-26 season with Villanova on Nov. 3 in Las Vegas, Clemson on Dec. 9 in New York City, and will participate in a Thanksgiving week tournament with Georgetown, Miami , and Dayton in Orlando .
