The Big Ten slate starts out heavy for Nebraska this season.
Nebraska will have its work cut out in January with a stretch of 2021 NCAA Tournament teams, as the Big Ten Conference announced the league schedule Wednesday afternoon.
The Huskers open Big Ten play at Michigan State. That game will be played either on December 30 or 31.
The conference home-opener is January 4 against Michigan, with Iowa in town January 9. That pair of games opens a six-game swing of 2021 NCAA Tournament teams.
Nebraska closes the regular season hosting Northwestern February 27 before the Big Ten Tournament March 2-6 in Indianapolis.
