Big Ten Announces Opponents For 2017-18 Men's Basketball Season
7/31/2017 10:59:00 AM | Men's Basketball
BLOOMINGTON, Indiana—The Big Ten Conference announced it's 18 game league schedule for each of the 14 institutions for the 2017-18 season. Each team will have four one-play opponents at home, four on the road and five matchups featuring home and away games. Dates, times and television designations will be announced at a later date.
Because the 2018 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament will be played a week earlier due to holding the event in Madison Square Garden in New York, each team will now play two conference games the first week of December. The Big Ten Tournament will be played February 28 thru March 4.
Indiana will face Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota and Ohio State in Assembly Hall and away from home this season. The Hoosiers will play road games at Michigan, Nebraska, Rutgers and Wisconsin. IU will welcome Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State and Purdue to Assembly Hall.
This could be the last season that IU and Purdue will meet only once in the regular season as the league discussed in May to look into protecting rivalries such as IU/Purdue, Michigan/Michigan State and Northwestern/Illinois from playing just once in the regular season. In football, IU and Purdue meet every year despite playing in different divisions.
Each conference game will be shown by the Big Ten's Television partners The Big Ten Network, Fox, ESPN and CBS.
Single Play in Bloomington: Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue
Single Play on the Road: Michigan, Nebraska, Rutgers, Wisconsin
Home-and-Home: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State
With this schedule:
• IU will face Maryland and Rutgers just once for the third straight year.
• IU will host Purdue and Northwestern for the third time in four games.
• IU will play Michigan and Wisconsin on the road for the third time in four games
• IU will face Ohio State and Michigan State twice during the regular season for the first time since 2014-15
