....and the single play schedules have come out for the coming year.


....and yet AGAIN, Purdue and IU only play once (@IU).




....UN.....Bleeping.....Believable. :91:
Ditto MSU-UM.

Per Twitter, since Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten, they've played MSU more than UM has

As you both know, this is a long-running complaint of mine.  It bothers me because I can't figure out the benefit of doing it.  There are things the conference does that we don't like but we KNOW they are doing it for money so at least we understand.  In this case, I can't figure out any benefit so it is just annoying!

Purdue starting to gear up for the World University Games in Taipei, where they will be representing the USA.

This as well as Carsen Edwards' experience at the FIBA U19 games will help them transition to life after Biggie.

Originally it was going to be Purdue's 11 scholarship players and a forward from Missouri State to round out the 12-man roster, but an injury to that player ruled him out. So it'll be Purdue's 11 scholarship players (excluding Matt Haarms), and walk-on Grady Eifert.

Matt Haarms is unable to play for the team due to not being a US citizen.

I wish I was still in a job where I was traveling over to Taipei regularly... I would have set up a business trip coinciding with this tournament...

Full conference schedule released today

MSU's is one of the weirdest I've seen.  6 of the first 9 at home, 6 of the last 9 road.  The only road games in that front half?  Rutgers, OSU and Illinois.  Mostly picked to be among the worst 4 in the conference.  Have to think it'll take Maryland, UM or Wisconsin upsetting MSU in Breslin to avoid being 9-0.

2nd half?  Trips to College Park, Bloomington, Iowa City, Minneapolis, Evanston and Madison.  5 of those 6 are tourney teams, and Assembly Hall is never a fun place to play.  Then you have Purdue as one of the only 3 home games.  Home against Illinois is the only thing close to a "breather."  Wouldn't be shocked to see MSU post a very misleading 3 game lead in the conference just to have it turn into a race.

Ugh, and apparently Friday night games are now a thing.  Stupid.  Mix in the random early December games and the early tourney with a week off in between and this whole season is a cluster.

MSU plays Wisconsin and Maryland in the same weekend.  Friday at home against Wisconsin, Sunday at Maryland.

Hell I'd rest some guys for that Maryland game, they'll be dead on their feet anyway.

I remember watching "Big Monday" on ESecPN in the late 1980's. It featured Big Ten and Big East (I think) games. Mighta been Big 8 though, and not the BE.

Only having to play 1 road game after February 8 is nice for a strong close, but you wonder how battle tested they'll be for the tourney.

Also seems like Wisconsin avoids any of the 2 games in 3 days stretches.

Here's Michigan's full schedule:
http://www.umhoops.com/2017/08/16/big-ten-announces-2017-18-conference-schedule/

My early prediction is 21-10 (11-7).

Hopefully the Monday night conference games is a one-year thing to allow for a condensed schedule as a result of playing the tournament in NYC.
