The Big Ten-and-then-some announced its conference men's basketball opponents for this winter on Wednesday.

Don't worry, Michigan and Michigan State still will play twice in the regular season. But each team will only play two other schools both home and away in the 2024-25 season.

For the Wolverines and new coach Dusty May, it means only playing rival Ohio State and Indiana each once on the road while having to face two-time defending Big Ten champ Purdue twice.

For the Spartans and Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo, there won't be a trip to face the Boilermakers, Hoosiers and Wisconsin, but they get a two-play with always difficult Illinois.

And for each, there will be a midwinter southern California swing and a visit from their new conference members from the Pacific Northwest.

While dates and other details won't be released until later (last year on Sept. 18), MSU and U-M can at least begin planning for the 20-game, 18-team Big Ten that debuts late this summer. Here is a look at both team's upcoming opponents.
