Big 12 Releases BYU Basketball Conference Schedule
Key Points:
- The Big 12 released BYU’s 18-game men’s basketball conference schedule, with teams playing three opponents twice, six at home only, and six away only; game times and TV details will be announced later.
- BYU’s home opener is January 6 against Cincinnati, followed by a home game versus Kansas on January 9, marking their second home meeting as Big 12 members; the season opener is on the road at Arizona State.
- The February 22 home game against Arizona is designated as an ESPN “Big Monday” game, and the final regular season game at Texas Tech on March 5 is likely a prime-time FOX broadcast.
- BYU’s schedule includes a bye week in February between games against Utah and Kansas State, with the first half of the season considered tougher, especially January, which features multiple teams that made the NCAA tournament last season.
- Overall, BYU’s schedule is balanced with challenging games spaced out, including matchups against Kansas, Arizona, Iowa State, TCU, and Houston, all expected to be strong competitors this year.
