After the two schools met for the first time ever this past season, UConn and Michigan will continue the series for another two years with a home-and-home, which will begin on Nov. 5, 2026 in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines will make the return trip to Connecticut in 2027-28.
This will be the Huskies’ first game in the state of Michigan.
On Saturday, Dorka Juhász was named 2026 EuroLeague Most Valuable Player, becoming the youngest player ever to win the award. The 26-year-old averaged 12.8 points on 52.0 percent shooting to go along with 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes for Galatasaray Cagdas Faktoring out of Istanbul, Turkey. She also made the All-EuroLeague First Team.
Juhász helped Galatasaray to the EuroLeague finals, though she missed the championship game after suffering a foot injury in the semifinals. Her team ultimately fell to Fenerbahce Opet, which featured former Huskies Gabby Williams — the 2026 EuroLeague Defensive Player of the Year and All-Second Team selection — as well as Breanna Stewart.
Transfer portal closes
UConn’s outgoing transfers will be limited to Ice Brady and Ayanna Patterson. On Monday, the portal officially closed to new entries, so no other members of the Huskies will depart this offseason. UConn can still bring in a transfer if it finds the right player, though.

Men, You've Been Misinformed
Men's skin is about 25% thicker than women's, but thicker skin doesn't mean better aging. It means delayed collapse. For years, your skin looks resilient. Then collagen declines, and when it does, it drops hard: deeper wrinkles, heavier under-eye bags, more dark spots showing up all at once.
Most men were never taught to get ahead of this. Women were. And by the time the signs show up, you're playing catch-up.
Particle Face Cream was built precisely for this. One 6-in-1 formula engineered for men's skin — reduces eye bags, dark spots, and wrinkles, restores firmness, hydrates deeply, and revives dull tone. No complicated routine. Over 1,000,000 men already use it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
