Finally, the Big Ten has announced its conference schedule. Well, part of it.
On Tuesday, the conference unveiled its nationally televised matchups on ESPN and CBS for the 2011-12 campaign.
Minnesota will appear on the networks (or their affiliates) three times during the conference slate: a Feb. 9 home matchup against Wisconsin, a Feb. 14 tilt against Ohio State at Williams Arena and another home game against Indiana Feb. 25 or 26, one of the CBS/ESPN wildcard games, according to the league's release.
The Big Ten expects to release its full conference schedule Wednesday, according to Valerie Todryk Krebs, conference spokesperson.
Here's the full Big Ten schedule for ESPN/CBS.
