ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Big Ten plans to stick with a 20-game conference schedule for men's basketball and an 18-game schedule for women's basketball when the league expands to 18 teams next year. The league also announced Tuesday that 15 of the 18 members will qualify for the Big Ten men's and women's basketball tournaments once Southern California, UCLA, Oregon and Washington arrive from the Pac-12. The Big Ten currently allows all 14 of its members to participate in the conference tournaments.
