The Minnesota Golden Gophers men’s basketball program now knows their full 2025. On Thursday, the Gophers’ conference schedule for the upcoming season was released.

The Golden Gophers will begin conference play on December 3 against Indiana at Williams Arena. Seven days later, they’ll head to West Lafayette to take on the Purdue Boilermakers. In January, the Gophers will dive into the heart of their Big Ten schedule starting on the 3 against Northwestern in Evanston. They’ll then face Iowa on the 6 at Williams Arena, the first of three-straight home games.

Also making their way to Minneapolis during the three-game home stand is Southern California on the 9 and Wisconsin on the 13.

The Gophers will face Illinois in Urbana-Champaign on the 17 and Ohio State on the 20 in Columbus before returning home on the 24 to host Nebraska. Niko Medved’s team will finish the month off with a trip to Madison on the 28.

In February, the Gophers will start the month with a trip to Happy Valley to face Penn State on the 1 before hosting Michigan State and Maryland on the 4 and 8. They’ll head out to the West Coast for a brief two-game road trip against Washington on the 14 and Oregon on the 17 before returning east for a home matchup against Rutgers, an away trip to Ann Arbor to face the Michigan Wolverines on the 24, and a home matchup against UCLA on the 28.

The Gophers will have just two games in March before the Big Ten Tournament, an away game in Bloomington against Indiana and their home finale on the 7 against Northwestern.
