The Indiana men’s basketball team will play just three Big Ten teams both at home and on the road in the upcoming season.

The league released conference opponents for the upcoming Big Ten season, which will be expanded to 20 games this fall with the addition of former Pac-12 schools Oregon, USC, UCLA and Washington.

Each team will play three opponents twice, seven only at home and seven only on the road.

Indiana will play rival Purdue, Ohio State and Penn State twice.

The Hoosiers will have home games against Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Rutgers, UCLA and USC.

On the road, Indiana is scheduled to play at Iowa, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.

Dates and times will be announced later this summer.

The Hoosiers finished last season 19-14 overall and 10-10 in the Big Ten. They did not make the NCAA tournament for the first time in three years.
