Big Ten hoops moving to 20 game conference schedule

It was announced on Thursday by the Big Ten that the men’s basketball schedule will turn to 20 conference games starting in 2018-19.

Even better? The MSU-UM rivalry is guaranteed to be featured twice as the Big Ten has elected to protect that matchup along with Northwestern-Illinois and Indiana-Purdue. Luckily for the Spartans, this year’s lone matchup is at Breslin Center on Jan. 13.

In the 20-game conference schedule, teams will face seven opponents two times and the other six just once.
