COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Mountain West announced today that men’s basketball will play a 20-game Conference slate starting with the 2024-25 season.
Expanding the conference schedule from 18 to 20 games aligns with the Mountain West’s men’s basketball goal to maximize NCAA tournament bids at the highest seeds possible. The 20-game schedule will ensure each MW school plays every Conference opponent twice, once at home and once on the road.
The change to a 20-game schedule will prompt an earlier start to the conference season, pushing intra-league dates earlier in December.
