It is so 2020 to announce a basketball schedule a week before your first game. Michigan will play BGSU on Turkey Eve and will host UCF and NC State prior to the Big Ten season. I love that the team will get a few games to find its feet prior to the Big Ten season starting.
The Big Ten season could be very tough as many expect it to one of the deepest conferences out there. This is 2020 so who knows what to expect, but there is going to be a ton of basketball being played between Thanksgiving and early March.
