While Michigan football may have just started in earnest this past Saturday, Michigan basketball’s time is right around the corner.
On Wednesday, the Big Ten finalized and released the full schedule for every team in the conference and the maize and blue have some interesting matchups in both nonconference and conference, alike.
One big change appears to be taking place in the 2021-22 season, as the Wolverines had been closing out recent years against in-state rival Michigan State. However, like in football, Michigan will play both games against MSU earlier in the schedule and will finish out the year playing Ohio State — with that game being on the road.
Michigan does have a home-and-home this year with the rival Buckeyes.
