UCLA vs Oklahoma, UConn vs Seton Hall set for the Coretta Scott King Classic
UCLA and UConn, both recent national champions, will participate in the third annual Coretta Scott King Classic. UCLA, the 2024 NCAA title winners, will confront Oklahoma on January 18 in their opening match. The 2025 champion Huskies will face off against Seton Hall in a Big East encounter during the second game. Dr. Bernice A. King, daughter of Coretta Scott King and CEO of The King Center, emphasized the event's importance in embodying her mother's values.
Both games will air nationally on Fox from Newark, New Jersey. This is the second consecutive season where UCLA is part of the doubleheader, following their debut appearance against Baylor. The Bruins will also face Rutgers and Maryland on the road later in the week. UConn and Seton Hall have previously met in Newark back in 2010.
