The UConn Huskies are set to face one of their toughest tests of the young 2025-26 season when they face Florida in the Jimmy V. Classic at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. The game will mark a matchup between the two last college basketball national champions as well as a rematch between the two teams for the first time since the Gators knocked the Huskies out of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
Last March, the Huskies were going after a three-peat, but they quickly fell short of that goal when Florida defeated them 77-75 in the second round.
