A chaotic final day of the regular season shook up the Big Ten standings—and perhaps set the tone for what will be a hectic five days in Indianapolis.
The Big Ten tournament bracket is set, with Sunday’s action headlined by two significant upsets by road underdogs. First, Michigan toppled rival Ohio State in Columbus, followed by Nebraska’s 74–73 win over first-place Wisconsin that denied the Badgers a shot at clinching the outright regular season crown.
Illinois’s thrilling 74–72 victory over Iowa on Sunday night gave the Illini a share of the championship and the top overall seed in the upcoming conference tournament. No. 2 Wisconsin (24–6, 15–5), No. 3 Purdue (25–6, 14–6) and No. 4 Rutgers (18–12, 12–8) round out the bracket’s top four.
