text: After lackluster 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, BYU was picked to finish 13th of 14 teams in the Big 12 prior to the 2023-24 season, their first competing in the conference. However, the Cougars posted a 10-8 conference record and went 22-9 during the regular season to finish fifth in the final standings. They defeated UCF in the Big 12 Conference Second Round before losing to Texas Tech in the quarterfinals. They were awarded a 6-seed in the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to Duquesne in the first round.
  On April 12, 2024, it was announced that Mark Pope had been hired as head coach at Kentucky. On April 16, BYU announced the hiring of Kevin Young, associate head coach of the Phoenix Suns, to serve as the team's new head coach. Young proceeded to sign three of the eight highest-rated recruits in BYU history (according to 247Sports)—Kanon Catchings, Brody Kozlowski, and Elijah Crawford—and also added projected 2025 NBA lottery pick Egor Demin, who played for Real Madrid's U18 squad and was eligible to play US college basketball under new NCAA rules. These signings led many to consider BYU's 2024 recruiting class the best in program history.
