Full Men’s Big 5 Basketball Schedule Set For 2024-25 Campaign

The schedule is set as a new era continues in Big 5 men’s basketball for the 2024-25 season.

For the second straight year, all six of the city’s NCAA Division I men’s basketball programs have been split into two pods of three teams. Each team will play the others in their pod at on-campus sites in a round-robin format. From those games, the schedule will be set for a tripleheader at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday, Dec. 7 with the first seed in each pod competing for the Big 5 championship, the second-place teams in each pod competing for third place, and the third seeds competing for fifth place.

 

For the 2024-25 season, Pod 1 once again features Drexel, La Salle and Temple while Pod 2 features Penn, Saint Joseph’s and Villanova.
