No. 4 UConn visits No. 7 Louisville on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. in a ranked matchup at the KFC Yum! Center, giving the Huskies a notable road test before the start of BIG EAST play.
The game will be shown on and the UConn Sports Network from Learfield, with FOX Sports 97.9 also on the local radio side. For UConn, it is another chance to build on a strong start after beating No. 17 Ohio State, 87-55, on Thursday.
Sarah Strong was the centerpiece of that win, scoring 25 points. She has already been a major factor in UConn's first games this season, including the Nov. 4, 2025 meeting with Louisville in the Armed Forces Classic, when she led UConn with 21 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
What Louisville brings into the rematch
Louisville also comes in with momentum. The Cardinals beat Ball State, 94-73, on Thursday to improve to 5-0, and they will have the advantage of playing at home against a top-five opponent.
Jeff Walz is in his 20th season at Louisville, giving the Cardinals a long-established coach for a game that carries both national attention and early-season meaning. UConn's regular-season stretch against ACC teams continues here, and the timing makes the matchup especially useful for both programs.
UConn is scheduled to play Seton Hall in the BIG EAST opener on Friday, Nov. 20, so Sunday's game also serves as one more important checkpoint before conference play begins. With two ranked teams involved, the result will not decide a season, but it should tell both sides a lot about where they stand right now.
