UConn last hosted Ohio State in December 2015, when the Huskies defeated the Buckeyes 75-55. Connecticut fell 64-60 in Columbus the following year and hasn’t faced Ohio State since.

Ohio State is the fifth confirmed opponent on UConn’s 2026-27 non-conference schedule, joining Duke (Nov. 25, Las Vegas), Illinois (Dec. 4, Chicago), Arizona (Tucson) and Kansas (Storrs/Hartford).

Ohio State lost to TCU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament as a No. 9 seed this past year. Next year’s Buckeyes team will be spearheaded by the trio of John Mobley Jr., Justin Pippen and Amare Bynum.
