    • BYU’s lone true road game will come Dec. 3 at Providence as part of the program’s first-ever appearance in the Big 12-Big East Battle. The Cougars have not visited Providence Pavilion since their 1981 Elite Eight run, where they defeated Princeton and UCLA at the venue.
    • BYU will participate in the Rady Children’s Invitational over Thanksgiving in San Diego, where they will face Ole Miss followed by either Purdue or NC State. Both Purdue and NC State were Final Four teams in 2024, though the Cougars did defeat the Wolfpack in that year’s Vegas Showdown.
    • BYU will also play historic rival Wyoming in a neutral-site game at the Delta Center on Dec. 14.
