Mohegan Sun to Host UConn’s First Step Towards a Three-peat

The University of Connecticut's back-to-back National Champion men's basketball team will take their first step towards a Three-peat in front of some of the NBA's greatest players, inside the most incredible venue in our state.

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, located in nearby Springfield, Massachusetts, has just announced that the very first Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Game will take place on Monday, October 14, 2024 at the Mohegan Sun Arena, where the UConn Huskies will take on an old foe that they've played 145 times since 1907, the University of Rhode Island Rams. It's a familiar matchup with legitimately one of UConn's oldest rivals, and UConn leads the all-time series by a margin of 77-68.
