NEW YORK (September 12, 2024) – The 2024-25 BIG EAST Conference men’s basketball schedule has been announced. For the fifth straight season, the slate includes 110 games in a double round-robin format. Dates and matchups are being released today. Game times, arena designations and television information will be announced at a later date.
BIG EAST games will continue to be televised by FOX Sports, the conference’s television partner for the past 11 years. CBS Sports will present a select number of games on CBS and Paramount+ as well as on CBS Sports Network. This season, the BIG EAST begins a new relationship with Peacock, which will carry some regular season games, the BIG EAST Tournament First Round tripleheader and two games in the quarterfinal round.
The BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden will be played March 12-15. It is college basketball’s longest running conference postseason tournament played at the same venue. FOX and FS1 will televise the BIG EAST Tournament beginning with Thursday’s evening quarterfinals through the championship game on Saturday.
Conference play begins December 10 when DePaul, with new head coach Chris Holtmann, hosts Providence. Connecticut, the reigning two-time national champion, begins at home against Xavier on December 18. UConn won the league regular season and tourney crowns last year.
The December schedule includes 14 games. The month ends with three contests slated for New Year’s Eve: St. John’s at Creighton, Marquette at Providence and Seton Hall at Xavier.
January begins with two games on New Year’s Day: UConn at DePaul and Villanova at Butler. Georgetown will play at Villanova on January 20 on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Five BIG EAST games will be played on January 11, March 1 and March 8, the final day of the regular season. FOX or FS1 will televise all five games on March 8.
The BIG EAST is coming off another stellar postseason. UConn won its NCAA Tournament crown by defeating all six opponents by double digits. The Huskies were the No. 1 overall seed in the tourney. Marquette was the No. 7 overall seed and Creighton was No. 10. The Golden Eagles and Bluejays each advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
The BIG EAST had five NIT teams, led by Seton Hall, which won the NIT championship. The other NIT teams were Butler, Providence, Villanova and Xavier.
The BIG EAST has averaged 5.2 NCAA bids over the past 11 seasons. The league has compiled a 22-6 (.786) NCAA record over the last two years, the best mark among all D-I conferences.
BIG EAST basketball in 2024-25 will also be covered on the BIG EAST Digital Network Presented by Invesco QQQ. Shootaround, the BIG EAST’s live online show that captures interviews and highlights of league action, is in its eighth year. The award-winning program will air on the league’s social media platforms prior to some of the top games.
