The Connecticut women’s basketball team will be coming to Koch Arena for the first time in the 2018-19 season.

The American Athletic Conference schedule was released on Thursday, revealing the 11-time NCAA champions will take on Wichita State at Koch Arena on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m.

UConn was ranked No. 1 for all of last season and marching into the Final Four with a 36-0 record before falling 91-89 in overtime to Notre Dame.

WSU’s record attendance at Koch Arena (not counting Schoolhouse Rocks games) was set at 5,262 fans to watch Missouri State take on the Shockers on March 4, 2006. The WSU-UConn game should bring enough intrigue to threaten that record.

In total, WSU will have 19 of its games televised. The Shockers will play on COX Yurview a total of 15 times while appearing on ESPN’s networks four times. WSU’s game at home vs. Houston on Sunday, Jan. 20 will be broadcast on ESPNU, as will WSU’s road trip to Cincinnati on Sunday, Feb. 10.

WSU will play 11 of its 14 non-conference games at home, including a date with Oklahoma State on Tuesday, Nov. 27.
