UConn has signed a contract for a home and home series with Baylor, which could very well be the No. 1 or 2 ranked team in next year's preseason polls.

The series begins with a home game for the Huskies next season. They will not play during the 2017-18 season but the Huskies will play at Baylor during the 2018-19 campaign.

Next year's non-conference schedule has a chance to be one of the toughest the Huskies have ever played as contracts have been signed for the return games with Ohio State, Florida State, Maryland, LSU, DePaul, Chattanooga, Nebraska, Kansas State. UConn will play Texas at Mohegan Sun Arena and UConn is expected to renew home and home series with South Carolina and Notre Dame.
