Did you enjoy the Michigan basketball vs. UConn battle in the national championship game? Well, it appears there will be something of a reprise.
The two powerhouse programs duked it out in the final game of the 2025-26 season, with the Wolverines emerging victorious after the Huskies gave them everything they had. Even still, the maize and blue earned the right to be called national champions in 2026, but it appears the two foes will meet again this calendar year.
Per CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, Michigan and UConn are finalizing a deal that would see the two teams in that final game of 2025-26 playing at TD Garden in Boston on November 6.
Given the timing, that would likely be the second game of the season, following whatever home opener the Wolverines would have at Crisler Center. The winner of the game would certainly get a bit of a boost in terms of perception as to how they’ll fare nearly a half-year down the line.
Michigan and UConn have faced each other four times in history, and after the national championship game, they’re each sitting with two wins against the other. The win for it all in Indianapolis, however, benefitted the Wolverines, 69-63.
