Ranking the 2022-23 Big Ten conference basketball strength of schedule

[nitramnaed]

T-3. Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska (139)​

These 3 teams have the same degree of difficulty, though the Spartans are clearly best equipped to handle it.

Michigan State will host Maryland, Northwestern and Minnesota — all winnable road trips that the Spartans don’t get to make. Crucially, Michigan State also visits Illinois without the Illini coming back to Breslin.

Nebraska has the nastiest road schedule in the entire conference, visiting Indiana, Rutgers and Michigan. Plus they don’t get the chance for a road win at Northwestern.

Minnesota avoids road trips to Indiana and Iowa, but the Gophers will have to visit every other gym among the league’s top 10 teams.
