The Big Ten just unveiled the 2026-27 men’s basketball schedule, setting the stage for a brutal, high-stakes season. The Gophers face a grueling early slate with four of their first six games on the road, starting with a Dec. 2 showdown against Michigan State and a quick home opener against Illinois.
