The Kansas State Wildcats are preparing for another difficulty and exciting Big 12 Conference season and have a difficult 2024-25 schedule in place.
Kansas State Wildcats went 19-15 last season and narrowly missed an NCAA Tournament berth in their second year under head coach Jerome Tang. The Wildcats exited from the NIT in the first round.
The Wildcats will be at the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands in November. Kansas State will travel to St. John’s for the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle while it will play Drake in the Wildcat Classic in Kansas City.
The schedule features 11 non-conference games and 20 Big 12 games, the latter being the first time the conference has fielded a 20-game league schedule.
That schedule will take place over 10 weeks with no break, meaning by the time the Jayhawks get to their first Big 12 Tournament in March in Kansas City, they will have played two games a week for more than two months.
The Big 12 Tournament will be held March 11-15 at T-Mobile Arena and all 16 teams will participate. The exact format of the bracket will be announced at a later date.
Here is the entire schedule, with game times and television designations.
