I don't know about any one else, but I have been eagerly awaiting the Hoosiers' schedule for some time. Unfortunately, the athletics department is mum on its release, and speculated dates have come and gone.
But that doesn't mean we can't take a quick look at what we have so far. On Wednesday, ESPN released its Big Ten basketball schedule, giving us some further information about when and where the Hoosiers will be playing once conference play starts.
Date ... Opponent ... Home/Away ... Time
Nov. 12 ... Florida Gulf Coast ... Home ... TBA
Nov. 14 ... Wright State ... Home ... TBA
Nov. 21 ... Evansville ... Home ... TBA
Nov. 25 ... Northwestern State ... Home ... TBA
Dec. 1 ... Boston College ... Away ... 7:15 p.m.
Dec. 22-23 ... Las Vegas Inv.* ... Neutral ... TBA
Dec. 31 ... Ohio State ... Home ... 6:00 p.m.
Jan. 4 ... Minnesota ... Away ... 7:00 p.m.
Jan. 20 ... Wisconsin ... Away ... 9 p.m.

*Teams in Invitational: Indiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Northern Iowa, Longwood, South Carolina State, Southern Illinois Edwardsville, and The Citadel.
Several Big Ten schools have their non-conference schedules released and on their respective sites already, but IU is joining the other schools in waiting. Dustin Dopirak over at the Scoop told me he is hearing the full schedule will be released Thursday, so hopefully you can make your travel plans soon.
But as of now, the two biggest games for the Hoosiers are against Boston College (ACC/Big Ten Challenge) and Purdue (IU's lone Super Tuesday appearance).
Will IU take one, both or none of those contests?
