Houston set for home-and-away series with Baylor, Texas Tech and UCF
HOUSTON – The Big 12 Conference announced the league's scheduling matrix for the upcoming 2023-24 season on Thursday. Houston will play three Big 12 opponents twice, then play the other 12 conference opponents once, for a total of 18 league contests.
Houston will play home-and-away contests against Baylor, Texas Tech and UCF. The Cougars will host first-year members Arizona and Arizona State and welcome Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and West Virginia. First-time road trips to Colorado, Iowa State and Utah highlight the road slate along with BYU, Cincinnati and TCU.
Opponents 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 remainder of the 2024-25 Houston women's basketball schedule, including dates and times, will be released at a later date.
