The last time these two programs squared off against each other was Nov. 21, 2013, in New York. UConn, who was ranked No. 18 in the nation at the time, narrowly beat Boston College 72-70. The game was a part of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Wounded Warrior Project at Madison Square Garden in  NYC. 

The news is also just one of two local headlines for college basketball this upcoming season. Rothstein reported on Tuesday night that UConn and BYU are finishing a deal to play at TD Garden in Boston in November. 

So far this offseason, multiple games have been announced for the Eagles’ season. 

Boston College will take on UMass on Dec. 10 at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass., in the 2025 MGM Springfield Basketball Hall of Fame Classic. The team will also compete in one of the fields for the Charleston Classic alongside Davidson, Tulane, and Utah State on Nov. 21 & 23 at TD Arena in Charleston, S.C. 

The full schedule and times for the Eagles’ 2025-26 season will be announced at a later date.
