Coretta Scott King Classic: UCLA-Oklahoma, UConn-Seton Hall

The third annual Coretta Scott King Classic will feature UCLA vs. Oklahoma and UConn vs. Seton Hall in Newark on January 18, with both games televised nationally on FOX.

The defending champion UCLA Bruins will face the Oklahoma Sooners in the opener of the third annual Coretta Scott King Classic on January 18. The 2025 champion UConn Huskies will take on Seton Hall in the second game of the doubleheader event, which will be held in Newark, New Jersey and televised nationally on FOX.

This marks UCLA's second appearance in the classic, following their participation in the inaugural event two years ago. UConn and Seton Hall previously met in Newark in 2010. The timing benefits UCLA, who will face Big Ten opponents Rutgers and Maryland later that week on the road. librea.one
