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.

This was an excellent venue for Fairield and New Haven counties to attend a UCONN game. The atmosphere was that of a home game for UCONN! It was a welcoming place for UCONN. Seats were great no matter where you sit. Tenfold better than the XCEL center. Thanks for this opportunity to attend a UCONN game in Fairfield County:)
Great watching UConn men's basketball right here in Bridgeport at Webster Bank Arena. Was easy getting there, parking was not a problem. Convenient vs. going to XL in Hartford. Had seats in the corner, but not bad at all. There really isn't a bad seat in the house.
UConn men's basketball game was the place to be on Saturday!! Hope this is a yearly event!
B Ball at Webster Bank Arena is good. Seating and amenities much better than HCC. Only downer is they whack you $20.00 for parking when on any other day it is $10.00. Bend over and take it.
Fun game to watch. Lack of student section really hurt crowd involvement though.
Great to see the players up close. Fun game to watch.
The entire city appeared to be grossly unprepared for 10,000 fans. The cops seemed nervous, the traffic was remarkably jammed, and it took 45 minutes to get out of the adjacent garage. By the way, $20 was far too expensive for parking. The venue experience itself was nice, but the traffic and parking was abysmal. Finally, the venue should market the indoor bar a little better, particularly for post-game events. More fans might be willing to stick around there, rather than sit at a dead-stop for 20-30 minutes in the garage.
Event and seating was fine. Parking setup was horrible. Took 45 minutes to get from highway to parking lot and that's only about a quarter mile distance.
Looking forward to seeing the Huskies at Webster Bank more frequently in 2014. Not a bad seat in the house!
I found the seat to be relatively good. I did appreciate the fact that UCONN was warming up directly in front of me. The seat would have been five star if closer to the middle of the court and better if seat one was at the left hand side of the row instead of the right. All in all, I had a great time...
Had a great time at the game last Saturday other than the big snow storm we had to drive thru to get there.
Great atmosphere and even better watching the UConn Huskies beat the Washington Huskies! Aside from taking me forever to get there because of the snowy driving conditions once I arrived at halftime it was all worth it.
We had a great time. The weather was terrible -- so traveling to and from was pretty awful -- but the game was great. Both teams played well. Our seats were pretty high up -- but we had a good view of the court and the large viewing screen was directly in from of us. UConn basketball is a good value and a great family night out.
This was a great outing to attend and I truly appreciate Ticketmaster making these last minute tickets available.
Great seats! Great Game! UConn men played an excellent game on Saturday at the XLCenter! Only negative...the weather!
Great game - great venue. Awesome to see the UCONN Huskies defeat the Washington Huskies!
It's a plus when you are part of the live action. The deafening noise, the comradeship, just being part of rhe live action are all a plus.
EVERYTHING WAS GREAT EXCEPT WE LOST. OTHERWISE THE VENUE AND OUR SEATS WERE GREAT. LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A SOLD OUT GAME.
Excellent seats, easy pick up at will call! Win or lose, always a great time
Game was terrific Seating was good, better thasn most games we went to.
