With its top three scorers returning from last season’s team that went to the Big 12 Conference Tournament title game, the Iowa State women’s basketball team is expected to compete for a regular season title during the 2024-25 campaign.
The Cyclones now have a preview of what that journey will look like.
The Big 12 announced the schedule matrix with home and away opponents for the upcoming season on Thursday. Each team will play three opponents twice, home and away, and the remaining Big 12 opponents once during the season.
Iowa State will play Kansas, Kansas State and UCF twice, once at home and once on the road. The Cyclones will host BYU, Colorado, Houston, TCU, Texas Tech and Utah. They’ll travel to Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State and West Virginia.
Opponents were picked on a combination of geography, historic results and a poll of the coaches to best balance the schedule for travel and competitiveness. The complete league schedule, with dates and times, will be released later.
