The Big Ten men’s basketball tournament is ready to take the stage in Indianapolis with all 14 members competing in this year’s conference tournament. With a pair of games between the four lowest seeds on Wednesday kicking things off and filling the schedule all the way through Selection Sunday, the Big Ten’s automatic bid to this year’s NCAA Tournament is sure to see plenty of competition in the coming days.

Most of the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament will be airing on the conference’s own Big Ten Network, with all games being played in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. But the conference semifinals and conference championship game will move to network TV over the weekend with CBS airing the final three games of the tournament. As is typically the case, the Big Ten championship game will help wrap up conference championship week and take us right up to the moment when the bids for the big dance begin to be unveiled.

Updated Big Ten tournament odds: Penn State favored in first-round matchup

Penn State is a slight favorite in the first-round matchup with Minnesota in the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament. Updated odds from Tipico…

Penn State men’s basketball may have had their fair share of struggles away from home this season, but the updated odds for the first round of the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament show the Nittany Lions will actually be a favorite against Minnesota. The odds for the first-round matchups in the Big Ten tournament from Tipico peg Penn State as a slight favorite against the Gophers.

Penn State is favored by 2.5 points against Minnesota in their first-round matchup in the Big Ten tournament according to Tipico. The last time Penn State was the favorite, the Nittany Lions were blown away at home by Nebraska, a program that went on a perfectly-timed tear right at the end of the season. But Penn State played tough in their final two road games of the season against Illinois and Rutgers. Illinois claimed the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten tournament and Rutgers earned a double-bye with the No. 4 seed.

Penn State and Minnesota split their regular-season series with a pair of games played within a week of each other after an earlier matchup had to be rescheduled. Minnesota handed Penn State a 76-70 loss in the first meeting in mid-February. Penn State blew out the Gophers in the revenge game in Happy Valley five days later, with an upset of Michigan State in the middle for Penn State.

Here are the updated odds from Tipico.

Updated Odds for Penn State vs. Minnesota via Tipico:

  • Penn State -2.5 (-120)
  • Minnesota +2.5 (-105)
  • Penn State moneyline: -165
  • Minnesota moneyline: +133
  • Over 124.5 (-112)
  • Under 124.5 (-108)

Penn State will face Minnesota on Wednesday night. The game will be played after the opening game of the Big Ten tournament with Nebraska facing Northwestern.

Big Ten men’s basketball tournament is set. Here’s the full bracket

Illinois takes the No. 1 seed and Penn State opens with Minnesota in first round. Full Big Ten men’s basketball tournament bracket…

[mm-video type=video id=01fx8b6dr5pk9ty0vy5h playlist_id=01ey902ehrs6e9bvhw player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fx8b6dr5pk9ty0vy5h/01fx8b6dr5pk9ty0vy5h-9d4f5908624d6b7b9a77254e41521bd1.jpg]

The Big Ten men’s basketball season came down to the wire as seeds were being determined, and Illinois managed to secure the conference’s top seed in the Big Ten tournament, which is set to get underway on Wednesday.

Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Rutgers each earned a double-bye and won’t have to play a game in the conference tournament until Friday. Meanwhile, Nebraska and Northwestern will officially kick off the Big Ten tournament on Wednesday, with Penn State facing Minnesota in the second game of the first-round action on Wednesday evening.

Here is the full men’s tournament bracket, as provided by the Big Ten on Sunday evening.

The winner of the Penn State-Minnesota game will face Ohio State on Thursday, while the winner of the Nebraska-Northwestern matchup will advance to face Iowa in the second round. Other second-round matchups include Michigan vs. Indiana and Michigan State facing Maryland.

The entire Big Ten tournament will air on Big Ten Network for the first three rounds. The conference semifinals will air on CBS on Saturday and the championship game will be played in its traditional Sunday afternoon slot, leading right into Selection Sunday for the NCAA tournament.

Penn State’s only shot at making the tournament is to go on the most shocking of runs to take the Big Ten tournament championship. But Penn State’s record away from home is alarming with just one win away from Happy Valley against Big Ten competition this season.

Penn State split the regular-season series with Minnesota, with the home team winning each game.
