Pac-12 Announces Added Contests for 2020-21 Men's Basketball Schedule

December 04, 2019 | Men's Basketball

BOULDER - The University of Colorado will add a home game with Washington State and travel to Arizona as part of the Pac-12 Conference's transition to a 20-game men's basketball schedule which begins for the 2020-21 season, the league announced Wednesday.

Colorado will open the 2020-21 Pac-12 schedule at Arizona on Wednesday, Dec. 2, and host Washington State on Saturday, Dec. 5. Arizona, along with Arizona State, will still come to Boulder next season while the Buffaloes will travel to both Washington State and Washington.

The added games and dates were selected based on the single-play opponents from the league's current annual rotation model, and availability based on prior non-conference schedules and academic calendars.

The remainder of the Conference schedule will be determined based on the current rotation model (see below), which completes its 10-year cycle at the conclusion of the 2020-21 season. Determination of future schedule rotations will be announced at a later date.

All 12 additional contests were slotted into windows in November or December as recommended by the Pac-12 Council and Athletics Directors' Committee upon approval of the 20-game schedule in spring 2019, with 11 of the games to be played on dates with students on campus.

Below are the matchups to be added, one home and one away for each team, for the 2020-21 season:

Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020 – Stanford at USC
Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2020 – Colorado at Arizona; Oregon State at Washington State
Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020 – Arizona State at California; UCLA at Oregon; Washington at Utah
Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020 – Washington State at Colorado; USC at Oregon State
Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020 – Utah at Arizona State; California at UCLA; Oregon at Washington
Saturday, Dec. 19, 2020 – Arizona at Stanford
