Husky Basketball’s Big Ten Schedule Unveiled
The University of Washington basketball team, with a new coach, team and conference membership, will travel to seven Big Ten cities this coming season — making stops at Michigan State, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa and Wisconsin.
This week, the conference revealed the dates for every team’s schedules, with the UW also disclosing that a non-conference game against Nicholls State at home on Nov. 13 has been cancelled because of a scheduling conflict for that team.
The Huskies now have a 30-game schedule, with 17 outings played at Alaska Airlines Arena, before turning to the Big Ten Tournament. Many of the weekly series involve Wednesday and Saturday games.

Certain to be big draws as Big Ten games in Seattle are visits by national runner-up Purdue on Jan. 15 and by basketball-crazy Indiana on March 1.
The Boilermakers haven’t played in Montlake since 1967, when they split a pair of games with high-scoring Rick Mount, losing to the UW 98-87 and winning 84-77.
The Hoosiers have never visited Seattle, instead facing the Huskies in three separate tournaments, including two in the same season in 1978 — the Indiana Classic and the Far West Classic. Indiana and the UW last met in 2913 at the Sports Classic at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The Hoosiers won all three of those games.
