It’s possible that no conference in America had a more impressive collection of individual talent in men’s basketball than the Big Ten this season. Now some of the brightest stars in the sport have arrived in Indianapolis for what’s shaping up to be a thrilling conference tournament with an autobid to the big dance on the line.

Illinois and Wisconsin split the regular season crown in the Big Ten, but there’s no doubt this field is completely wide open. With as many as eight teams from the conference projected to make the NCAA tournament, it feels like this should be the most competitive field of any conference tournament in America.
The Big Ten tournament will be all about a showcase of all-league stars. Potential top-five NBA draft pick Jaden Ivey leads a Purdue team with a dynamic offense. Another potential NBA lottery pick, Iowa forward Keegan Murray, will have the Hawkeyes dreaming of pulling off multiple upsets in March. Want another projected lotto pick? Wisconsin guard Johnny Davis qualifies as well. There’s also Ohio State’s E.J. Liddell, Illinois’ Kofi Cockburn, and Rutgers’ Ron Harper Jr. to round out the elite talent.
We’ll keep you updated on the schedule and results of the 2022 men’s Big Ten basketball tournament the entire way.
