UNCASVILLE — UConn’s men’s basketball team is scheduled to play Syracuse at Mohegan Sun Arena at 7 p.m. October 13, according to WFSB’s October 12 preseason coverage. The matchup follows the women’s scheduled October 12 exhibition at the same venue.
WFSB reports that neither contest counts toward the regular-season record. This article is a preview of the men’s scheduled game; it does not report an unverified result from either exhibition.
The UConn Blog’s earlier announcement identifies the Syracuse game as part of a three-game men’s exhibition slate, alongside Michigan State and Purdue. It describes the Mohegan Sun appearance as UConn’s third consecutive fall visit for preseason play.
The programs have a substantial basketball history. The blog reports that Syracuse led the all-time series 56–39 at the time of its June preview, and that the most recent meeting it identified was UConn’s 83–76 win at Madison Square Garden in November 2018.
For local readers, the distinction is between a nearby preseason opportunity and a game affecting conference or regular-season standings. Tickets, availability and entry requirements should be checked with the arena or the teams; the dated reports do not establish current inventory.
Any final score, player statistics or postgame account will need a verified game record before being added to this story.
