UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball History
The UConn Huskies men’s basketball team is a big reason why Connecticut has earned its nickname as “The Basketball Capital of the World.” Since the Huskies’ first season in 1900, UConn has captured six National Championships, along with 34 conference regular season titles and 11 conference tournament championships.
Launched as a conference member in the Athletic League of New England State Colleges, UConn helped form the New England Conference in 1923 and continued to the Yankee Conference from 1946 to 1976. After a handful of unaffiliated seasons, UConn became a founding member of the Big East Conference in 1979, and after a stretch in The American Athletic Conference starting in 2013, rejoined the Big East in 2020. UConn’s membership in the Big East alone accounts for 11 regular season conference wins and eight conference tournament crowns.
Across UConn’s 37 NCAA Tournament appearances, the Huskies have advanced to seven Final Fours. The team’s National Championship wins in 2023 and 2024 made UConn the eighth school to win back-to-back tournaments. Aside from March Madness, the Huskies men’s basketball team has appeared in the National Invitation Tournament 13 times and won in 1988.
Notable alumni include Ray Allen, Caron Butler, Ben Gordon, Richard Hamilton, Clifford Robinson and Kemba Walker.

UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and PeoplesBank Arena
The UConn men’s basketball team split home games between Harry A. Gampel Pavilion on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs and PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford. Each season, the home schedule is divided approximately in half between the two venues. The tradition began in 1975 when PeoplesBank Arena, then known as Hartford Civic Center, opened and was paired with UConn’s previous on-campus arena, the Hugh S. Greer Field House. Gampel Pavilion inherited the shared schedule when it opened in 1990. Inside the Huskies’ two home arenas, Gampel Pavilion seats more than 10,000 guests, while PeoplesBank Arena holds a capacity of nearly 16,000 for basketball games.
UConn Huskies tickets for the 2025-26 season can be purchased on Ticketmaster.
The UConn Huskies play at both Harry A. Gampel Pavilion on campus, and at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut. The seating map for Gampel Pavilion can be found on the UConn website(Opens in new tab), and the seating map for PeoplesBank Arena can be found on Ticketmaster(Opens in new tab).
Excellent event, excellent venue - not a bad seat, free parking. Clear advantages over Htfd Civic Center. The $10 seat that turned into $20.40 for a charity event was lousy. I hope that whoever was on the receiving end of those $$s (I couldn't tell, could you?) made a donation also.
Do this again! Rivalries like this can't be ignored, definitely when done for a good cause in the area's top venue. One-sided game revealed Friar's veteran strengths and UCONN's freshman potential. Great night!
Great seats..great crowd...lots of fun...arena perfect for basketball no bad seat.
Very good game and atmosphere. It was too hot though.
Great venue for a game. Always a treat to see UConn, especially at home in Fairfield County!
Great time, good environment, lots of energy in the building, electric atmosphere. Good to share UConn hoops with lower Fairfield County and close to home
Had a great time seeing the UCONN Huskies men's basketball team play this past Monday at Webster Bank Arena. Seats were excellent and at a great price. Now all we need is a few more games down here in Fairfield County! The arena itself is nice, there are no bad seats and it's clean. Now for the negative. Food quality needs drastic improvement for the prices charged and $20 for parking in a dirt lot is ridiculous.
Great game, great venue. Would definitely go again, easy to get there and park.
I've only been to Webster Bank Arena on one other occasion for a basketball game. It was great to be able to see the UConn men play a basketball game there without having to make the trip to Hartford or Storrs. The atmosphere wasn't the same as it would have been at Gampel but it was still good.
This event was a great time. It was incredible to have the Men's basketball in our own backyard. Hoping for a return next year!
