The schedule has officially arrived for Big 5 men's basketball for the 2024-25 season.
For the second year in a row, all six NCAA Division I men's basketball programs in Philadelphia have been split into two pods of three teams. In each pod, teams will face the others at on-campus sites in a round-robin format.
The outcome of the round-robin will determine the schedule for a tripleheader, set to be held at Wells Fargo Center December 7. The first seed in each pod will compete for the Big 5 Championship, second-place teams will compete for third place and the third seeds for fifth.
