It was announced that the Providence College Friar men's basketball team will host the Brigham Young University Cougars at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in the 2024 Big 12-BIG EAST Battle on Tuesday, December 3.

The time of the game will be determined at a later date.  All the games in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle will be played from December 3-December 8.

The Friars are 0-2 all-time versus BYU with the Cougars capturing the first match up with an 81-78 win in Philadelphia, Pa., at the Palestra on December 28, 1962.  In the most recent game between the two teams, BYU earned a 66-52 win in Provo, Utah on December 21, 1982.  The Friars have posted a 3-2 mark all-time in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle.

Each conference has added member schools since the start of the original agreement. 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 when available.
