Big Ten Tournament 2019: Bracket & Schedule

The race to the top of the Big Ten is heating up with three teams entering the final weekend of conference play tied for first with 15 wins. Michigan, Michigan State and Purdue were all tied atop the standings heading into Saturday. The winner of the Michigan-Michigan State game will secure the No. 1 seed for the Big Ten tournament thanks to tiebreakers.

The Big Ten tournament starts on Wednesday, March 13 and concludes on Sunday, March 17. Michigan State hosts Michigan in one of the biggest college basketball matchups of the weekend with the Big Ten regular season title on the line. Michigan State assistant coach Dane Fife believes the regular season title has importance.

“No question, I think (the Big Ten regular-season title) still has tremendous value,” Fife explained to the Lansing State Journal. “I think it has more value just because it’s grueling. It’s stressful and it’s spread out over time. The Big Ten tournament, a team can get hot and roll.”

Here’s a look at the Big Ten tournament schedule and bracket based on the current standings.
