Who will claim this year’s Big Ten Tournament championship?
Early on, it appears to be a two-team race between either No. 8 Purdue (25-6, 14-6 in Big Ten Play) or No. 10 Wisconsin (24-6, 15-5 Big Ten). But the conference features three more teams ranked in the AP Top 25 in No. 20 Illinois, No. 23 Ohio State and No. 24 Iowa.
Other teams to consider are Michigan State and Rutgers — not to mention Michigan, which is dangerously close to missing the tournament altogether a year after making it to the Elite Eight of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Will Juwan Howard’s return from suspension be enough to spur a March Madness bid?
Here is a complete guide to the 2022 Big Ten men’s basketball tournament, including a full TV schedule, seeds, odds and more for every game on the road to March Madness.
