MANHATTAN — The 2024-25 Kansas State women’s basketball schedule is now complete after the Big 12 announced its conference schedule on Thursday.
Even with the league expanding to 16 teams, the conference schedule will remain at 18 games. The Wildcats will play Kansas, Iowa State and Cincinnati both home and away, and face the other 12 teams once each.
The Wildcats open conference play on Dec. 22 at home against Cincinnati and then are off until Jan. 1, when they go on the road to Houston. Their two Sunflower Showdown games against KU both will take place on weekends, with K-State playing in Lawrence on Sunday, Feb. 2, and the Jayhawks visiting Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday, Feb. 22.
K-State returns 10 players, including four starters, from last year’s NCAA Tournament team. All-America center Ayoka Lee and first team All-Big 12 point guard Serena Sundell are back, along with fellow seniors Brylee Glenn and Jaelyn Glenn.
Here is the Wildcats’ complete schedule for the coming season:
