MANHATTAN — Kansas State basketball’s 2024-25 schedule is set, and there is plenty for Wildcat fans to sink their teeth into.

There will be some new twists in the expanded conference schedule, which was announced Thursday by the Big 12 office. With the addition of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah this year, each of the 16 teams will play 20 league games.

The 20 league games are the most ever for K-State, which opens conference play at home on Dec. 30 against Cincinnati and finishes up on March 8 with Iowa State. Six of the Wildcats’ 10 home games take place on weekends, including two Sunday dates when Arizona State visits on Feb. 23 and Colorado on March 2.

K-State will play a home-and-home series with five teams — Kansas, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Arizona State and Cincinnati — while facing each of the others once. They also play host to Houston, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Arizona and Colorado.

Both Sunflower Showdown games against Kansas this year will be on Saturdays, with K-State heading to Lawrence on Jan. 18, and the Jayhawks visiting Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 8. The Wildcats have played KU home-and-home every year since 1912 and have met at least once since 1907.

K-State has four back-to-back conference road trips, including visits to national powers Kansas on Jan. 18 and Baylor on Jan. 22. The most challenging home stretch also features KU on Feb. 8 and Arizona on Feb. 11.

Here is how the Wildcats’ full schedule shakes out.
