Texas vs UConn basketball: Live updates, highlights as Longhorns and Huskies clash

With the start of the regular season around the corner, the Texas women's basketball team will participate in a high-profile exhibition game.

On Monday, Texas will play an exhibition game against UConn. This exhibition game - which UT coach Vic Schaefer said was scheduled as an NIL benefit for the players of both programs - will feature two of college basketball's top powerhouses. Texas and UConn have both been a Final Four qualifier in each of the past two seasons, and UConn won a national championship in 2025.

This will be the first meeting between the two schools since Texas recorded an 80-68 win Dec. 3, 2023 over UConn in Austin.

Texas will be led by senior forward Madison Booker, a three-time Associated Press All-American, while UConn junior forward Sarah Strong was named the AP's Player of the Year for the 2025-26 season. The Longhorns will open their season at home against Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 4. UConn's season opener is set for Nov. 2 against Cornell.
