The NCAA Tournament feels like it still just ended yesterday, but the Big Ten has already released the new Big Ten Men’s Basketball conference opponent schedule for the 2019-20 season.
Here is the breakdown:
Home: Iowa, Ohio State, Rutgers
Away: Indiana, Nebraska, Purdue
Home/Away: Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State, Wisconsin
So Michigan State will have to head back to Indiana this year, a team where they lost two games to last season, and they won’t have a shot to play them at home either. They will be losing Romeo Langford however, so Indiana, who wasn’t necessarily a great team last year anyway, should be weaker next season.
The Spartans will also be playing Michigan twice, of course, both home and away. This will give Michigan State a chance to go 5-0 over Michigan over two years, a feat that will delight Spartan fans without a doubt.
The Spartans will have to return to Indiana second time in the season as they also have to play Purdue in a tough away game. Michigan State has to travel to Indiana twice in a season, without the opportunity to play either team in East Lansing, which is rough.
