MINNEAPOLIS -- The Big Ten has announced the 2024 volleyball season matchup pairings. The conference added Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington to its 14 existing members. The former Pac-12 schools begin B1G competition in August of 2024.
The three teams Minnesota will play twice each in 2024 are Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin. At home only, the Gophers will host Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Northwestern, Oregon, Purdue and Washington. They'll play Illinois, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, UCLA and USC on the road only.
The 2023 Golden Gophers went 17-13 (12-8 Big Ten) and finished fifth in the Big Ten regular season standings. The 'U' made its ninth straight NCAA Tournament appearance in year one under head coach Keegan Cook. The program has made 24 of the last NCAA Tournaments and has had 28 straight winning seasons, dating back to 1995.
The Gophers have won 10-or-more Big Ten games in every season except for one dating back to 1999. The program has finished in the top five of the Big Ten standings every year since 2015.
Minnesota is set to open the 2024 regular season Sept. 1-2 in Milwaukee, Wis., against Stanford and defending national champion Texas.
