Big Ten Tournament 2019: Bracket, Schedule & Scores for Men’s Basketball [Updated]

Getty Michigan State beat out Michigan to be the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten tournament.

The Big Ten tournament bracket is loaded with five teams ranked in the top 25. The conference could have as many as eight teams in the March Madness field.

Michigan State and Purdue shared the regular season Big Ten title. The Spartans are the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament thanks to tiebreakers. Michigan State is expected to get big man Nick Ward back for this week’s tournament.

“I do expect Nick to play,” Michigan State head coach Izzo explained to CBS Sports. “How much? I don’t know. I’m 99 percent sure he’s going to play unless there’s a setback…He’s not gonna be in as good a shape, but he has been running and working out; it’s just different than playing,” Izzo said of Ward and how they plan to bring him back. “That will be interesting to see today. Then it’s how they pad [Ward’s hand] and how it works, and he’s had some opportunity to look at it.”

Michigan is hoping Charles Matthews will be able to play during the conference tournament. The Wolverines are looking to bounce back after their rivalry loss to close out the season.

“He practiced yesterday and he went the full practice,” Michigan coach John Beilein explained to the Detroit Free Press. “We’ll wait and see what he can do today. Not certainly at 100 percent, but he hasn’t been able to go a full practice yet (until yesterday).”
