The Big Ten released the women’s basketball conference season schedule Thursday evening.

The Hoosiers will begin their Big Ten schedule Dec. 31 versus Wisconsin at Madison, and they will play nine home games and nine road games.

“The Big Ten schedule once again presents a challenge and will provide excitement for our program and fans,” IU Coach Teri Moren said in a press release. “When you combine the level of talent and the caliber of coaches, the Big Ten is the most competitive conference in the country.”

Beginning the new year, IU will play against Michigan on Jan. 3 in 
Assembly Hall.

The Hoosiers’ next two games will be away — in Columbus against Ohio State on Jan. 7 and in West Lafayette versus Purdue on Jan. 10 — before they alternate the following six games, playing Michigan State, Illinois and Rutgers at home and Minnesota, Northwestern and Maryland on the road.

Five of their last eight games will be in Bloomington, against Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Penn State.

The Hoosiers’ final three road games will be at Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska.

IU will begin the postseason in Indianapolis at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in the Big Ten Tournament.

If the Hoosiers are selected, they will compete in the NCAA Tournament, beginning March 15, 2016.
