FARMINGTON, Utah — The Big Sky Conference on Tuesday announced its schedules for both men's and women's basketball for the 2023-24 season.
Highlighting the schedule for Montana and Montana State is the annual Brawl of the Wild rivalry series. The first men's and women's doubleheader between UM and MSU will be held Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024 in Bozeman. The second twin bill will take place Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024, in Missoula.
The league’s regular season will run from Dec. 28 to March 4, leading into the 2024 Big Sky championships tournament, which is slated for March 9-13 at Idaho Central Arena in Boise, Idaho. During the regular season, Big Sky men's and women's teams will step out of their conference calendar to compete in the Big Sky-Summit Challenge, which was announced in April.
