I like these games!! I really like the ones in NYC when we're recruiting that area hard. There's nothing like being able to tell an NE kid you'll get to play at MSG in a prime time game!

Also, really like that were shooting for that 3-5 games. Three elite games with two solid games to back it up. If we could get those 250+ RPI games down a bit we would be in business.

I know there's a thread for future schedules but can't search in the app.

IU will play in the 2K Classic in NYC next season with Va Tech, Washington, and Providence. IU will play against UNC in the Jimmy V Classic in 2018.

AWESOME!

^^ 2017-18 and 2018-19 schedule threads are pinned. I think apps can click on "stickies".

anyone know if IU is going back to Maui? I remember something about that last year but can't remember? Anyone?

If we could actually get that KU series ironed out instead of talking about it every year we'd be moving in the eggy direction in our scheduling.

UNC (N)
UL (H)
UVA/Cuse (H)
Butler (N)
KU (A)
Gavitt?

Those 5 or 6 games would stack up amongst the top noncon schedules in the country. The other 7 to 8 will be among the worst though.

Love this! Hopefully it happens by 2018-2019 season.

UNC (N)
UL (H)
ACC opponent (Duke, UVA, Cuse) (A)
Zona (H)
Butler (N)

That would be a couple of nice marquee home games for the season ticket holders. It would also provide some good neutral site and away environments to prepare for conference and tourney games.

Hope they go to protected rivalries and split the other 12 teams each season. (6 home/home, 6 home or away) The following season you flip. I'm sure the B1G will find a way to mess that up though.

The Big Ten Conference Administrators Council approved a change to the format of future men’s and women’s basketball schedules at its annual meeting last week. Beginning with the 2018-19 season, the men’s basketball schedule will increase to 20 conference games and the women’s basketball schedule will feature 18 conference games.

Under the new men’s format, teams will play seven opponents twice and six teams once (three home, three away) in a given season. The three in-state rivalries – Illinois/Northwestern, Indiana/Purdue and Michigan/Michigan State – will be played twice annually, while the new schedule will also include a regional component to increase the frequency of games among teams in similar areas. Over the course of a six-year cycle (12 playing opportunities), in-state rivals will play each other 12 times, regional opponents will play 10 times, and all other teams will play nine times.

The updated women’s format will feature 18 conference games that will allow teams to play five opponents twice and eight teams once (four home, four away) each season. A similar model that emphasizes in-state rivalries and competition between regional opponents will also be implemented for the new women’s schedule.

More details, including each team’s list of single- and double-play opponents for 2018-19, will be released at a later date.

Thanks for the info. I just watched CAM at the B1G media day and someone asked a question about the IU-PU rivalry being protected going forward. I had no idea what he was taking about. Now, I know ... BTW, if they're gonna worry about protecting traditional rivalries, why not protect the geography around which the B1G was built? The media day in NYC? That's nuts. And the B1G tournament there? Don't get me started. The B1G is primarily and traditionally a Midwest conference -- its events should be held there.

I like media day being in NYC. I think whenever you can get your brand into a big market like New York it's a good thing. Plus I'm sure it's a cool trip for the players.

Weren't we suppose to play UNC next year? At least that's what this article said:

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2016/09/06/iu-schedules-hoops-trips-new-york-2017-2018/89904258/

No article so far has seemed to acknowledge we have switched opponents. It's probably better for us as I assume WVU is closer to our level and it will probably be a better game against a still good team as we continue to rebuild but it definitely looks like we were suppose to play UNC originally.

Yeah, I don't know what the scoop is on this one.

Zach ostermans twitter timeline has some good info on it

The way WVU has played the last few years we will get routed. Very little faith in my beloved Hoosiers. I'd almost rather play UNC as a loss to them is more expected by everyone.
