The 2022-2023 Big Ten basketball regular season is complete. While it was a total dud for Ohio State, the competition and depth of talent may have never been better — at least for parity’s sake.
Now, everyone will turn their eyes to the conference tournament, which should be wildly entertaining and unpredictable. Purdue will be the No. 1 seed by virtue of its regular-season conference crown, but it’s literally anyone’s guess which teams advance.
In OSU’s case, as the No. 13 seed, it’ll get its tournament going early. Its first game set for Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET vs. 12th-seeded Wisconsin. The winner of that game will take on 5th-seeded Iowa the following day and faces the uphill battle of trying to win five games in five days. Winning the Big Ten Tournament is the only way the Buckeyes or the Badgers make the big dance.
Good luck with that.
Here’s the rest of the Big Ten Basketball Tournament bracket for you to plan out the end of the week.

Here’s hoping Ohio State finds a little magic and goes on an historic run in Chicago. This is probably where we tell you to not hold your breath, but you get the idea. We’ll be rooting anyway.
