In February, BTN will once again be home to Super Saturday at Madison Square Garden, with Rutgers and Michigan wrestling squaring off before the Scarlet Knights and Wolverines basketball programs take to the hardwood at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The women?s non-conference schedule gets rolling on Wednesday, Dec. 4, with back-to-back doubleheaders in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. On night one, Nebraska welcomes the Duke Blue Devils to Lincoln ahead of Iowa hosting Clemson. On Dec. 5, Virginia travels to Rutgers before Louisville heads to Ohio State for a border battle.
