DePaul set to face Red Raiders for first time since 2019
NEW YORK/IRVING – The BIG EAST and Big 12 Conferences announced the 2024 schedule for the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle setting up a matchup for DePaul men's basketball against Texas Tech. The Big 12-BIG EAST Battle is in its sixth year and will have 11 matchups take place from Dec. 3-8.
The Dec. 4 matchup will be the fourth all-time meeting between DePaul and Texas Tech and the first since 2019. In 2019, the Blue Demons defeated Texas Tech 65-60 in an overtime thriller at Wintrust Arena. The 2024 matchup will be DePaul's first ever trip to Lubbock and first road game for the Blue Demons in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle. DePaul is 1-1 all-time in the Battle, after falling last season to Iowa State.
Each conference has added member schools since the start of the original agreement. The BIG EAST will host six games in 2024-25 while the Big 12 will host five. The 2024 matchups will feature seven teams ranked in the final AP poll of the 2023-24 season, including defending national champion Connecticut. Five of the 11 participant teams made it to the Sweet 16 in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
The Battle matchups are jointly determined by the two conferences, with the home team choosing the venue of its game. Broadcast arrangements for the contests will be determined by the national television rights holder of the home team, which is FOX Sports for the BIG EAST and ESPN for the Big 12.
Game times and television networks will be announced when available.
