A mid-January home game vs. Purdue leads into a stretch of tough away games against Iowa and Michigan State, followed by a three-game homestand against Maryland. February brings Indiana and a rematch with Ohio State, then back-to-back road games against Nebraska and Washington — capped off by a West Coast swing against UCLA and USC.
