UConn and BYU are set to clash at TD Gardens, marking their first meeting since 2003, while BYU faces challenges without Egor Demin.

The UConn Huskies are gearing up for a thrilling neutral site clash against the BYU Cougars, slated for the 2025-26 season at TD Gardens in Boston. This highly anticipated matchup, set for either November 14th or 15th, marks the first encounter between these storied programs since their last meeting in 2003, where UConn edged out BYU 58-53.

BYU`s recent performance has been nothing short of impressive, as they stormed into the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, pulling off a stunning upset against No. 3-seed Wisconsin before falling to Alabama. However, the Cougars will face a significant challenge next season, as they will be without their star guard, Egor Demin, who is projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

This primetime showdown promises to be a spectacle, showcasing the resilience and talent of both teams. Meanwhile, the Purdue Boilermakers are also preparing for the 2025-26 season, with sophomore guard Gicarri Harris returning after a season of ups and downs. Additionally, North Carolina transfer Cade Tyson, a versatile 6-foot-7 forward, is weighing his options, with the Minnesota Golden Gophers among the contenders for his next destination.

As the college basketball landscape shifts, fans can look forward to these exciting developments in the upcoming season.
