Here are the Big 12 basketball powerhouses coming to Provo this season

The BYU men’s and women’s basketball teams got their conference schedules finalized Thursday.

Now that BYU is officially in the Big 12, the basketball teams got some clarity this week about their conference schedules.

Both teams will play an 18-game conference schedule, and some big names will play at the Marriott Center throughout the season.

Texas was the second-best men’s team in the conference last season with a 29-9 (12-6 Big 12) record. Baylor, meanwhile, has former Cougar Caleb Lohner on its roster.

On the women’s side, Oklahoma had a 26-7 (14-4 Big 12) record last year.

Kansas was the best men’s team in the conference last year, but the Cougars will face them only once on the road. Texas was the best women’s team, but former BYU guard Shaylee Gonzales will not be making the trip to Provo this season.

Here is a breakdown of the Cougars’ road and away games on both the men’s and women’s sides.
