The path to a second straight Big Ten title became a little clearer Monday morning when IU released its home and away schedule for the Big Ten season.
The schedule features both a home and away game against Purdue after only having one game in Bloomington last season.
The other four teams IU is scheduled to play twice next season are Michigan, Northwestern, Penn State and Wisconsin. The Hoosiers also have just one contest at home against Michigan State, another team that figures to compete for a Big Ten title.
Other teams IU only has to play at home are Rutgers, Nebraska and Illinois.
There are four teams the Hoosiers will only have the opportunity to play on the road. IU will have to travel to Ohio State, Minnesota, Iowa and Maryland without receiving a return trip.
While the opponents and sites have been announced for all conference games, the dates and times have still yet to be announced.
