Purdue now knows its path for a Big Ten championship. On Thursday, the conference released the league schedule for all 18 teams. After a quick glimpse at the docket, Boilermaker fans had plenty of reactions to share.

Coach Matt Painter and his squad are on a quest to win a third Big Ten regular season title in the last four seasons. With several quality teams in the league, it won't be an easy journey.

Purdue's first Big Ten game is set for Dec. 2, making a trip to Rutgers. The Boilermakers then host Minnesota on Dec. 10 before jumping back into non-conference play. Big Ten play then resumes on Jan. 3 with a game against Wisconsin.
