INDIANAPOLIS—The weather still says summer, but in just three-months, college basketball's 2019-20 season begins.
Friday, the Big Ten announced its conference men's schedule for the coming season. Featured are two meetings between Indiana and Purdue, both in February. The Boilermakers will travel to Indiana on February 8, and Purdue will host the Hoosiers on February 27.
