WVU men's basketball Big 12 schedule features tough road slate, visit from new conference powerhouse Arizona

The Big 12 released its men’s basketball schedule matrix for the 2024-25 season on Wednesday, and it appears West Virginia will face a significantly challenging road slate in Darian DeVries’ first year at the helm of the program.

The road slate will be highlighted by trips to three of the top four Big 12 finishers last year -- Baylor, Houston, and Texas Tech. The schedule also calls for a trip to Kansas, which gives the Mountaineers three AP Poll Top 25 finishers on the conference road schedule.

On the home slate, WVU will get a visit from a first-year conference foe and AP Top 25 finisher in Arizona, as an Iowa State squad which finished second in the league standings last season and finished the year in the Top 25 as well. 

Perhaps the most welcome sight on the schedule for WVU is a home-and-away series with more traditional rival Cincinnati returning to the schedule for the second consecutive season, giving the Mountaineers a chance to continue to rekindle what formerly was a significant Big East rivalry. The full list of opponents and locations for the Big 12 men’s basketball 2024-25 conference schedule is posted below.
