Ok, so no one probably cares, but the Big Ten released their conference hoops schedules yesterday. It got lost in the frenzy of the pigskin party last night. Nebraska was dealt a pretty difficult schedule, but considering how low the expectations are for this team, there's really no possible way for it to be easy for them. That said, they do open with 5 teams that went to the NCAA tournament last year including 3 of them on the road. How does New Years in Columbus sound? Click here for the full schedule.
