The Mountain West Conference will play an 18-game basketball schedule, starting in late December.
The season will begin on Dec. 29 and conclude March 6, according to a news released issued Friday.
Each team will play nine home games and make nine road trips, with individual schedules to be released later.
The conference tournament will be held March 10-13 in Las Vegas.
Utah State won last year’s Mountain West tournament by defeating San Diego State in the title game, just before the NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The NCAA pushed back the start of the 2020-21 basketball season to Nov. 25 due to the pandemic.
