There were only two Big Ten games on Wednesday in Indianapolis, and both pretty much went as expected.
The first game of the game saw Northwestern take down Nebraska in a nail-biter, 71–69 to move on to the next round. Then, Penn State defeated Minnesota 60–51 thanks to a strong second half where the Nittany Lions outscored the Golden Gophers by 13.
Those two wins mean that both higher seeds are moving on to the second round. The next round features the Big Ten teams seeded No. 5–10, all of whom earned a single bye with their regular season play.
