In three of the last five seasons, Georgetown has hosted UConn at CareFirst Arena — home to the WNBA’s Washington Mystics — instead of its 2,000-seat on-campus gym. Now, the Hoyas are upgrading venues again. According to the schedule on their website, the Huskies’ Feb. 18 trip to Washington, DC will be played at Capital One Arena, where Georgetown men’s basketball, the NBA’s Washington Wizards and the NHL’s Washington Capitals all play. Bob Joyce, the voice of UConn women’s basketball on the radio, spotted the news.

UConn only has one date left on its schedule without a venue: Jan. 10 at Creighton.

The Huskies are set to play seven regular-season games at NBA or NHL arenas: Duke at TD Garden in Boston (Nov. 28), Maryland at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (Dec. 5), LSU at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville (Dec. 20), Seton Hall at the Prudential Center in Newark (Jan. 18), St. John’s at Madison Square Garden (Jan. 24), Marquette at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee (Feb. 7) and Georgetown.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived. On Tuesday, UConn released the tip-off times and television information for its entire schedule, including its three exhibitions.

The Huskies will play 10 games on FS1, seven on Peacock, five on TNT, four on FOX, two on truTV and ESPN, then one each on NBC and ABC. The games on Peacock will also air on NBC Sports Network while the TNT and truTV contests will stream on HBO Max.

Speaking of arenas, UConn’s Jan. 18 matchup at Seton Hall will take place at the Prudential Center in downtown Newark as part of the Coretta Scott King Classic. The Prudential Center is home to Seton Hall’s men’s basketball team and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils. UConn last played there on Dec. 11, 2021 — a 71-61 victory over UCLA in the Never Forget Tribute Classic. Seton Hall women’s basketball typically plays its home games at Walsh Gymnasium, a 1,316-seat arena on campus.

On Thursday, the Big East held its annual media day in New York City. UConn swept the preseason honors, as per usual. Much of the conversation centered on how Sarah Strong can be even better as a junior, Blanca Quiñonez’s new role and the biggest questions facing this year’s team.

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
