One of the most competitive and deep Big Ten basketball regular-seasons is finally over, and there’s no doubt each of head coaches that will be playing in the postseason is happy to take a breath.
There’s only one problem with that. It’s not over. Now all the secondary fun begins to see which of the fourteen teams can survive a tournament of attrition and win the 2020 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament.
There was a three-way tie for first place, so tiebreakers kick in. Wisconsin gets the No. 1 seed, Michigan State is the No. 2 seed, and Maryland the No. 3 seed. That trio of teams along with No. 4 seed Illinois will get a double-bye and not play until Friday.
But the fun gets going before that. The bottom four seeds get things started on Wednesday night, followed by the second round that has seeds No. 5 through 10 playing against the winners of the previous night.
We’ve got your bracket below, but if you want a printable version, you can get one here.
Let the games begin!
