The UMass men’s basketball team announced it will take on in-state rival Boston College on Friday, Nov. 6 at TD Garden, on Friday.
The matchup will be part of the Hall of Fame Series Boston, with both teams making their return to the Garden hardwood for the first time since facing off against each other in 2014.
“What an incredible opportunity to once again play Boston College in our own state,” Minutemen head coach Frank Martin in a news release. “Thankful to the Hall of Fame for making it happen last year in Springfield and obviously this year at TD Garden in Boston. Boston College-UMass should make for a great game for our state.”
Michigan will play UConn in the nightcap of the day’s proceedings, a rematch of the 2026 National Championship Game.
This will mark the first of two Hall of Fame events of the season for the Minutemen as they’ll also face Wake Forest in the Hall of Fame Classic on Sunday, Dec. 6 in Springfield.
Last season, the Minutemen edged BC with a 76-71 win at MassMutual Center in Springfield in the first meeting in the series in 11 years. The Eagles lead the all-time series, 26-22, but UMass holds an 11-3 edge in neutral site events.
