Iowa and UConn Will Start a Home-and-Home Women’s Basketball Series Next Season
- On Tuesday, Iowa and UConn announced a two-game home-and-home women's basketball series beginning next season, with UConn hosting in 2026-27 and Iowa hosting in 2027-28.
- Despite their prominence as two of the most recognizable brands in women's college basketball, UConn has not visited Carver-Hawkeye Arena in more than two decades, last playing there in 1999.
- The teams split their last two meetings: Iowa defeated UConn 71-69 in the 2024 Final Four semifinals in Cleveland, and UConn won 90-64 in the Women's Champions Classic in Brooklyn in December, with Aaliyah Edwards called for an offensive foul in the final seconds of the 2024 contest.
- Iowa will travel to Connecticut on Sunday, November 8 at a venue still to be determined—either Gampel Pavilion in Storrs or Peoples Bank Arena in Hartford —while the 2027-28 return game date remains pending.
- UConn head coach Geno Auriemma, who has led the Huskies for 41 seasons with a.886 winning percentage and won 12 national championships most recently in 2025, is building a strong nonconference slate including South Carolina, Duke, Michigan and Maryland alongside the Iowa series.
