No. 4 UConn Visits No. 17 Ohio State Tonight

Sarah Strong’s 39-point breakout, a recent sign of UConn’s rising form, tests Ohio State’s 3-0 start.

Overview

  • The nonconference game is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12, with tipoff at 6:30 p.m. ET at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus and live TV coverage on FS1.
  • UConn enters riding a rebound from a Nov. 5 loss to Michigan and Sunday’s 91-79 win over Iowa in which junior forward Sarah Strong scored 39 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
  • Ohio State began the season 3-0 with wins over Illinois‑Chicago, Central Michigan and Mercyhurst, and guard Jaloni Cambridge is leading the Buckeyes in scoring at about 20.7 points per game.
  • Preview coverage frames this matchup as Ohio State’s first significant test after an easier early slate and as an early measuring point for UConn following last season’s Final Four run.
  • Fans can stream the game on Fubo or DIRECTV and listen on SiriusXM channels 231 (Ohio State) and 250 (UConn), and the outcome could shape both teams’ nonconference momentum and national perceptions going forward.
