The Penn State Nittany Lions will host USC and UCLA for the first time as Big Ten basketball opponents and visit Oregon and Washington.

The first piece of Michigan and Michigan State basketball’s Big Ten schedule for next season is in place. The Big Ten announced its conference matchups for the 2025-26 campaign on Tuesday, with the opponents and locations for each team being set.

Michigan State opened last season unranked before winning the Big Ten regular-season title and reaching the Elite Eight while finishing 30-7 in coach Tom Izzo’s 30th season. The Spartans will look a lot different next season after losing seven scholarship players.
