Big Ten unveils 2022-23 conference basketball opponents
Most eyes are looking toward college football season, but the Big Ten is already getting plans together for college basketball season. The league announced each team’s conference opponents on their respective schedules for the 2022-23 season.
Last year’s co-champions, Illinois and Wisconsin, will have a home-and-home series while Indiana — seen as a likely contender after Trayce Jackson-Davis announced his return to Bloomington — will notably have home-and-homes with Michigan and Michigan State. The league also announced the conference tournament will return to the United Center in Chicago for the first time since 2019, scheduled for March 8-12.
Here’s who each Big Ten team will face this season. The league will unveil the full schedule at a later date, according to the announcement.
