On Sunday in the Big Ten Tournament championship game, Wisconsin will look to put the finishing touches on a resume they're hopeful will earn them a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, Michigan State is wanting to hand the Badgers their fourth loss this season after a close loss to begin the month.

Wisconsin hopes to solidify a No. 1 bid with a Big Ten championship.

Led by an incredible offense, Wisconsin has a legitimate shot to sit atop one of the Tournament’s four regions next weekend. They struggled in the first half against Purdue on Saturday, but showed no mercy in the second, outscoring the Boilermakers 41-16 in the final 20 minutes for a 71-51 win.
Michigan State advanced past Ohio State, 76-67, on Friday and Maryland, 62-58, on Saturday. Travis Trice had 38 points and six 3-pointers combined in the two games, and his free throws closed out the game against Maryland down the stretch.
Wisconsin beat Michigan State 68-61 in conference play on March 1, with Frank Kaminsky silencing a late Spartan comeback attempt. He scored 31 in the game on 11-of-17 shooting, adding eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks. If Michigan State can't find some way to slow him down this time around, they'll face similar results.
