Oklahoma State To Face Xavier in Big 12-Big East Battle

STILLWATER – It’s official, Oklahoma State is set to host Xavier in Gallagher-Iba Arena in the Big 12-Big East Battle in the 2021-22 Big 12-Big East Battle. The game is scheduled for Dec. 5.

According to the release from Oklahoma State athletics, “Broadcast arrangements for the games will be determined by the national television rights holder of the home team, which is ESPN for the Big 12 and FOX Sports for the Big East. Television designations and game times for the 2021 Battle games will be announced when available.”

This would be the first matchup between the two programs.

Here is the full slate of games for the 2021-22 Big 12-Big East Battle

Villanova at Baylor

UConn at West Virginia

Kansas at St. John’s

Texas at Seton Hall

Texas Tech at Providence

Butler at Oklahoma

Iowa State at Creighton

Xavier at Oklahoma State

Marquette at Kansas State

TCU at Georgetown

The Cowboys traveled up to Milwaukee, WI this past season and beat Marquette 70-62 in the Big 12-Big East Battle. They finished the 2020-21 season with a 21-9 overall record, 11-7 in conference play and were one of the hottest teams in the country down the stretch.

The 2021-22 team will have a bit of a different look as Big 12 Freshman and Player of the Year, Cade Cunningham, is headed to the NBA. Boynton and Co. have also brought in three transfers over the past few months, including Kansas transfer guard, and former five-star prospect out of Booker T. Washington in Tulsa, Bryce Thompson.

I’d expect more non-conference games and tournament matchups to be announced over the next few months.

I do believe so, yes. Should be the same as this past season.
