STILLWATER — The Big 12 Conference released its scheduling matrix for the 2023-24 men’s basketball season Thursday.
With the addition of four new members, the league will keep its 18-game schedule but shift to an unbalanced format for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
OSU has home-and-homes with five league opponents and single games against each of the other eight schools (four at home and four away).
Brigham Young University is the only newcomer that OSU will see twice, along with Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech.
Fans will have to wait until next year for their first glimpse of Houston and Cincinnati at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Those schools are on the away-only list along with Texas and Iowa State.
Likewise, Central Florida is a home-only opponent, joined by Baylor, Texas Christian University and West Virginia.
OSU last played host to BYU during the 1971-72 season and last visited Provo, Utah, the following year. The Cowboys’ most-recent road games at Cincinnati and Houston came in February 2003 and December 2019, respectively, while the UCF-OSU clash in Stillwater will mark the first-ever meeting between the programs.
Match-ups were selected based on a combination of geography, historical results and a polling of the league’s coaches to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competition. Pairings for all 14 schools are available at Big12Sports.com and dates are due out later this summer.
