STANFORD, Calif. – Matchups have changed for the Countdown to Columbus event at Nationwide Arena on Nov. 12 and Stanford will now face Connecticut instead of Louisville. The game between the Cardinal and Huskies will tip at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT and air on ESPN.
Team travel and television logistics required a change in opponents. When the Countdown to Columbus was first announced in April, the original matchups were Stanford against Louisville and Ohio State against Connecticut. The Cardinals and Buckeyes will now play following Stanford and Connecticut.
Stanford's season-opener in Columbus against Ohio State in the Buckeyes' historic St. John Arena on Friday, Nov. 10 remains unchanged.
The Cardinal is 7-10 all-time against Connecticut. Stanford knocked off the No. 1 Huskies 88-86 in overtime in the teams' last meeting on Nov. 17, 2014 to snap UConn's 47-game winning streak.
Stanford is coming off a 32-6 season that included its 13th Final Four appearance and 12th Pac-12 Tournament championship.
