STORRS, Conn. --- The UConn and Providence men's basketball teams, longtime New England and former Big East Conference rivals, will play an exhibition game on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at Mohegan Sun Arena at 7 p.m. for the benefit of the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
The NCAA has granted a waiver to schools to play an extra exhibition game this year, provided the proceeds are donated to hurricane relief. UConn will still play its scheduled exhibition games on Monday, Oct. 30, against Merrimack at the XL Center in Hartford and on Sunday, Nov. 5, against Queens College at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs.
Tickets for the UConn-Providence game are available through TicketMaster or the Mohegan Sun Ticket Office. Tickets are $50 for courtside, $25 for lower bowl seating and $10 for the upper bowl.
UConn and Providence have played 72 times in a series that dates back to 1928, with UConn holding a 44-28 edge. They last met on the basketball court on March 9, 2013, a 63-59 UConn win in overtime at Gampel Pavilion.
