UConn women’s basketball opponent previews | Tier 1: the contenders

UConn’s non-conference schedule is as tough as it gets this season. The Huskies will face six of the top ten teams in the AP Preseason Poll throughout the regular season, starting with its second game of the season. With these games spaced out between November and early February, there will be plenty of chances to measure where this team stands amongst the nation’s best ahead of March.

No. 3 Texas (November 14)

The second game of the Huskies’ season will be a big test, with No. 3 Texas making the trip to Storrs. The Longhorns boasted a top ten defense according to Her Hoop Stats last season, which earned them a trip to their second straight Elite Eight under head coach Vic Shaefer.
