The Big 12 announced the conference basketball schedule format for 2023-24 on Thursday, which is highlighted by new members BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF. Each Big 12 team will play five conference opponents twice and play every other opponent once, for a total of 18 conference games.
The Big 12 opponents, according to the release “were selected based on a combination of geography, historical results and a poll of the coaches to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness.” The full Big 12 schedule will be announced at a later date.
