It took a while, but Nebraska's men's basketball conference schedule was officially released on Thursday afternoon during B1G Live on the Big Ten Network.
Here's a look at it:
The Huskers will play three teams twice in the new-look 18-team Big Ten: Iowa, Maryland and Ohio State.
Some notes:
>> UCLA will be making its first trip to Lincoln since the 1955-56 season. The game with the Bruins will mark the first between these two programs as members of the Big Ten.
>> Nebraska will be playing on Super Bowl Sunday this season. The Huskers will host Ohio State on Feb. 9.
>> Start times and network designations for all Big Ten and non-conference games are expected to be announced later this month.
