The Big Ten has belonged to the Purdue Boilermakers over the last two seasons. They are going for their second straight tournament championship this week at the Target Center, a feat last accomplished by the Michigan Wolverines (2017-18).
Purdue is projected to earn a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance for the second season in a row but the rest of the conference has regressed a bit since sending an NCAA-best eight teams dancing a year ago. The Illinois Illini, Northwestern Wildcats, Nebraska Cornhuskers and Wisconsin Badgers are all expected to earn spots while the Michigan State Spartans and Iowa Hawkeyes find themselves on the bubble heading into the conference tournament.
Below is the Big Ten bracket, summaries of the top teams and resume information for all 14 entrants.
