West Virginia will host old conference foe Georgetown in the 2024 Big 12 — Big East Battle on Friday, Dec. 6, at the WVU Coliseum, as announced by the two leagues. The 11 men’s basketball contests between the teams from the two leagues will play out over Dec. 3-8.
WVU is 26-27 all-time against the Hoyas, with a large number of those games occurring when the Mountaineers were in the Big East with Georgetown as conference foes. West Virginia is 6-1 in its last seven meetings with its D.C. counterpart, most recently knocking them off 80-71 on Dec. 6, 2021 at GU’s McDonough Arena. Five of those six wins came over ranked Georgetown opponents.
The Mountaineers and Hoyas will be meeting for the third time since WVU left the Big East.
WVU and Georgetown also played regularly between 1929 and 1940, but faced each other only once between 1941 and 1995.
Each conference has added member schools since the start of the original scheduling agreement, which began six years ago. The Battle will include 11 matchups for the second straight season. 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 at a later date.
