Bigger B1G Releases Men's Basketball Matchups for '24-25

Iowa will travel to USC and UCLA and play host to Oregon and Washington in next season’s new-look Big Ten men’s basketball schedule.

The conference, now at 18 teams, released its single-plays and home-and-homes for next season’s 20-game schedule that includes the league’s new teams from the PAC-12.

The Hawkeyes haven’t played UCLA since a 1990 regular-season game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa leads the all-time series 5-3.

Iowa last played USC in 1983. The Hawkeyes lead that series 5-2.

Iowa hasn’t played Washington since 1966. The Huskies have been to Iowa City twice, the last time in 1965.

Oregon is a more familiar opponent — the Hawkeyes lost to the Ducks in the 2021 NCAA tournament. Oregon has only played in Iowa City once, in 1949. The Hawkeyes have a 6-2 series lead.

The Hawkeyes’ double plays are against Nebraska (35 NET last season), Northwestern (51 NET) and Wisconsin (19 NET).

Iowa’s single-play home games are Indiana (84 NET), Minnesota (96 NET), Michigan State (22 NET), Oregon (54 NET), Penn State (85 NET), Purdue (3 NET), and Washington (69 NET). The single-play road games are Illinois (12 NET), Maryland (77 NET), Michigan (130 NET), Ohio State (52 NET), Rutgers (102 NET), UCLA (106 NET), and USC (87 NET).

Iowa finished 10-10 in the Big Ten last season, finishing in a tie for sixth place in the league standings.
