WSU men to open Pac-12 season with trip to Colorado, Utah
The Pac-12 Conference released weekly matchups and site designations for the 2023-24 men’s basketball season, the conference announced Thursday. Washington State will host 10 Pac-12 games this season, concluding with a three-game homestand against Southern California, UCLA, and Washington.
The announcement reflects the games being played and the home/away designations each week of the Pac-12 regular season. Specific dates and times for each game within a week will be announced in the coming weeks, after selections by the league’s television partners are finalized. All 20 of the Cougars’ Conference games will be televised by Pac-12 Network, ESPN, FOX, or CBS networks.
The Cougars will begin the Conference schedule in the Rocky Mountains, facing Utah and Colorado between Dec. 27-31. After ringing in the new year, WSU returns to the Palouse for the opening homestand of league play, Jan. 3-7, hosting the Oregon schools.
With an additional week in the 2023-24 college basketball calendar, all Pac-12 league contests will be played over the course of 11 weeks after the Christmas holiday. Eight of the 11 weeks will follow the annual travel partner format, while three weeks will flex to either single-play opponents at home and on the road (Week 3), or traditional rival on the road paired with a home opponent (Weeks 8 and 10).
The 2024 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament is scheduled for March 13-16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
