2015 Big Ten schedules detailed

John Beilein's team proved to be road warriors during the present conference season, knocking off Minnesota, Nebraka, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue so far away from Crisler Arena. A recently released 2015 slate doesn't appear as daunting.

The Big Ten came out with its distribution of "skip games," and it appears to play out very well for the Wolverines. Michigan plays home and away games against Illinois, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State and Rutgers.

The Wolverines travel to Indiana, Maryland, Penn State and Purdue without return trips by those teams to Crisler Center.

It's the home-only games that raise an eyebrow. Michigan gets Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin at Crisler Arena, without having to make trips to those four venues. The Wolverines got blown out at Iowa this year, and needed to hang on for dear life in wins at Nebraska and Wisconsin, their win at the Kohl Center their first since 1999.
