The Big Ten released the conference opponent matchups for the 2021-22 basketball season Thursday, and Indiana learned it will be playing traditional conference powerhouses Michigan and Michigan State once each and Illinois and Iowa once each in Indiana coach Mike Woodson’s first year at the helm.
The Hoosiers will play the following teams both at home and on the road: Purdue, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin.
Illinois, Michigan and Rutgers will all play at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall without the Hoosiers having to play them on the road. Michigan State, Iowa and Northwestern will host Indiana but will not have to come to Bloomington.
The opponents for each team, according to the Big Ten release, follow:
