Is it confirmed for Nov 28?
Looks like Knicks are home at 7:30pm…

I saw that as well. Maybe a noon tipoff?

uconnmbb just posted a new promo on IG. Just says "black friday battle". No time listed. Return trip to the United Center in 2026-27.

What a schedule this year.

Illinois, Kansas, BYU, Arizona, Texas, and the Champs

4-2 at worst through this, a BET regular season championship and a #1 seed to get number 7#

 

[Bucket94]

I jus need to know when the presale is so i can get tickets for the Jimmy V, Michigan St, and this Illinois game lol.

Somewhere in that range. What an incredible way to kick off Thanksgiving weekend.

You forgot Bryant....can't be accused of ducking the tough ones anymore

hope it's not a Noon game, if so, means my Thanksgiving travel plans are off ... not enough time to get from Chicago (Duke/Arkansas @ United Center Thanksgiving Night) to NYC for quality pregaming time at Legend's

If Illinois has a fan forum like this someone should post the video of all their fans chanting “we want UConn” after their Sweet Sixteen win on the morning of.

Depending on timing and work I may have to sell the Mich St.

With Knicks game at 7:30 I would imagine a noon or 1pm tip

Uconn generally in that 4-5th best odds to win it next year via Vegas, so I would think they'll be favored in just about all of these since 5 are essentially home games. The game at KU may be close.

The Knicks need to be moved

Kind of surprised we’re going to Chicago next year. Unless Dan wants the away game as a true road test. Illinois coming to MSG should’ve been enough of a sell for them.

Little sweetener to get Braylon to stay an extra year? Although I suppose Dan can just try to book an away game in Bloomington.

We played Gonzaga in NY and Seattle. This is the same deal

Yes I’m aware. Gonzaga is a much bigger basketball brand though and I believe that series was announced before we won the B2B.

These neutral site games in major cities, help to strengthen the connection with alumni & fans across the nation ... can't wait 'til we play in Chicago (not @ DePaul)
