The University of Michigan basketball program announced the finalized 2011-12 basketball schedule this afternoon. Two thirds of the schedule (non-conference and ESPN/CBS conference games) had been previously released but now the final third, conference games televised by the Big Ten Network, has been unveiled.
Michigan’s non-conference slate features a trip to Maui and games against Iowa State, Virginia and Arkansas. The Wolverines open play in the Maui Invitational against Memphis before facing either Duke or Tennessee in the second round. The Maui Invitational also features Kansas, UCLA, Georgetown and Chaminade and you can find the complete bracket here.
Michigan will play 11 Big Ten games on ESPN or CBS and open the Big Ten season against Penn State at home on December 29th. The Wolverines will play just one game against Minnesota (home), Wisconsin (home), Iowa (away) and Nebraska (away) while facing every other Big Ten team twice. ESPN will also bring their College GameDay set to Ann Arbor for the Wolverines’ home game against Ohio State on February 18th.
