The UConn men’s basketball team, ranked fifth, is set to return to Gampel Pavilion on Monday for its 120th all-time meeting with New Hampshire, with the opportunity to make history. UConn tied with North Carolina for the longest streak of double-digit wins over nonconference opponents and looks to secure its 24th consecutive victory since last season, which will cement its place in the NCAA record book.
Dating back to 1983, UConn has won its last 11 matchups with New Hampshire, with only four of those meetings decided by less than 20 points. The two programs first met during the 1906-07 season, in a game which New Hampshire won, 33-11.
The Wildcats, under first-year head coach Nathan Davis, have begun their season 4-2 and are heading to the game off consecutive wins. Despite the anticipation of an upcoming game with top-ranked Kansas, UConn remains focused and has not faltered in nonconference matchups since their 2022 NCAA Tournament loss to New Mexico State.
Furthermore, UConn’s exceptional performance on-court this season has been highlighted by their offensive prowess, consistently winning games by an average of 29 points. The team has also showcased strong defensive capabilities, limiting their opponents to 60 points per game. The backcourt duo of Tristen Newton and Cam Spencer, along with contributions from other key players, have been instrumental in UConn’s success.
The game is set to take place at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, with UConn looking to extend its dominance over New Hampshire. The matchup will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and UConn Sports Network on 97.9 ESPN, presenting an exciting opportunity for basketball enthusiasts to witness high-quality gameplay.
