Big XII
Big XII Non-Conference schedules for the 2024-25 season.
Conference Play Overview: For the second consecutive year, the Big XII is a conference of change. Oklahoma and Texas are headed to the SEC, but Arizona, Arizona St., Colorado, and Utah join an already loaded hoops conference. The league announced early during this transitional process that it would go to a 20-game league schedule beginning Dec. 30/31, with each team playing two games per week and no byes. The addition of Arizona will immediately provide several compelling regular season matchups, and despite recent struggles, ASU, Colorado, and Utah are all tough at home, which should make for an incredible 20-game sprint to March.
Due to the discrepancy in the number of teams in each league, the 2024-25 season will be the final year of the Big XII/Big East Battle.
