The Huskies are scheduled to take on instate rival Quinnipiac in the tournament's first round while the Bulldogs open the tournament against Maine.

The winners will face off the next day in the championship game and the losers will meet in a third-place game.

The tournament is hosted by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and held at the Mohegan Sun Arena, about 30 miles from UConn's campus in Storrs.
