Northwestern announced on Friday a 2021 schedule that they hope will end with a second straight Big Ten West championship.

The Wildcats' schedule features seven home games, five road games, the customary three non-conference games, three crossovers against Big Ten East division opponents, and six West division games.

Here are the highlights:

Non-conference: vs. Indiana State, at Duke, vs. Ohio

Crossovers: vs. Michigan State, vs. Rutgers, at Michigan

Big back-to-back West games: Nov. 6 vs. Iowa, Nov. 13 at Wisconsin

Wrigley game? The Wildcats' Nov. 20 game against Purdue will be played at Wrigley Field, according to ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. The location for that game will most likely be announced at a later date.
