Illinois will play only one Big Ten game prior to the new year — at Rutgers on Dec. 2 — as the conference released its men’s basketball schedule today.

The visit to New Jersey comes three days before the Illini take part in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden, where Illinois plays Florida Atlantic.

Brad Underwood’s team resumes Big Ten play with a home game against Northwestern on Jan. 2. After that, the schedule becomes difficult in a hurry with consecutive games against Purdue, Michigan State and Maryland.
