Big 12 Unveils Schedule Matrix for WVU Women’s Basketball

When the WVU women’s basketball team tips off the 2025-26 season, they’ll be doing it with pressure to build on the success of Mark Kellogg’s first two seasons and get the program to another level. But that won’t be easy in a conference as deep as the Big 12.

On Thursday, the Big 12 announced the conference scheduling matrix for the 2025-26 women’s basketball season. Teams will play three Big 12 opponents twice, then play the other 12 conference opponents one time, for a total of 18 conference games.
