Big 12 announces home and away pairings for upcoming men’s basketball season

Amid Thursday’s NBA draft festivities , the Big 12 announced its home and away conference schedule pairings for the 2024-25 men’s basketball season.

In Colorado’s first year back in the Big 12 , which now holds 16 teams, the Buffs will play five teams twice (home and away) during conference play: Arizona State, Iowa State, Kansas, TCU and UCF. Colorado will only play the other 10 schools once, totaling 20 conference games.

The black and gold will welcome BYU, Baylor, Cincinnati, Houston and West Virginia to the CU Events Center. They will travel to Arizona, Utah, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.

The home-and-home series were chosen based on geography, history between programs and a poll of the coaches based on travel and competitiveness.

This will be a switch from the 12-team conference format the Buffs became used to in the Pac-12, where they got to play every team twice except for two. Last season, the only teams CU saw once were the UCLA Bruins and Stanford Cardinal, playing the former on the road and the latter at home.

Dates, times and television networks will be revealed at a later date.
