UConn and Georgetown to renew basketball rivalry with home-and-home series

Published February 05, 2015

UConn and Georgetown have agreed to renew their basketball rivalry, which ended with the split of the old Big East conference.

The schools announced Friday they would play a home-and-home series beginning next season.

Georgetown is scheduled to visit Connecticut on Jan. 23, 2016, with the Huskies traveling to the Verizon Center on Jan. 21, 2017. It was not immediately clear whether the game in Connecticut would be held in Storrs or Hartford.

The schools, which have each won a record seven Big East tournament titles, have met 64 times since 1958. The Hoyas hold a 35-29 lead in the rivalry, but they have not played since Georgetown beat UConn 79-78 in double overtime in Storrs in February 2013.

UConn now plays in the American Athletic Conference.
