The Connecticut Huskies are preparing for the 2026-27 season with only three rotation players returning from last year's squad that finished as runners-up. Significant departures include top scorers Tarris Reed and Alex Karaban, both selected in the 2026 NBA Draft. Solo Ball, the team's third scorer, is expected to miss the upcoming season due to wrist surgery.

The Huskies will aim to adapt as they build a competitive lineup for the upcoming season.
