Conference: Big 10
Dates: March 13-16
Bubble Teams: Nebraska & Minnesota
Favorite: Wisconsin
The Big 10 has easily been the most up and down conference in college basketball this season. They seem to have at least six locks for the NCAA tournament, but everyone of those six teams have seen massive ups and downs this year. Coming into the season, Michigan State was thought to be the favorite for the Big 10 and maybe even a national title, but injuries have set them back. It has been a similar story for every team in the conference, and it will be interesting to see how the conference does in the NCAA tournament.
The main thing to watch in the conference tournament will be bubble teams Nebraska and Minnesota. Both most likely need one, if not two, wins to ensure a spot in the NCAA tournament. Tournament seeding is also on the line for the rest of the conference, so you can surely expect an all-out battle over the weekend in the midwest.
