For the past decade the Big Ten Conference Tournament has actually featured 11 teams, and now times are changing again as 12 teams will participate in this year’s event with the addition of the Nebraska Cornhuskers to the Big Ten Conference. And while the Huskers don’t figure to be one of the favorites, they will add some intrigue to what is already one of the top tournaments before the Big Dance. It’s anyone’s guess who will win this year’s Big Ten Tourney, but the one thing we do know is that it will again be played at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The venue has been the home of the tournament since ‘08, and during that time it has been won by the Wisconsin Badgers, Purdue Boilermakers and Ohio State Buckeyes in the past two renewals. Those three teams figure to be among the favorites this time around, along with the Michigan State Spartans, Michigan Wolverines and Illinois Fighting Illini.

The results of last season’s Big Ten Conference Tournament schedule were no surprise as the #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes went all the way after also winning the regular season title. But as always, the road through the Big Ten Tourney was far from easy. The Buckeyes had to beat a surprisingly tough Northwestern team in a quarterfinal game that went into overtime, and then they took down Michigan and Penn State. Now the Buckeyes have a chance at history as they can become the first team to win three consecutive Big Ten tournaments. Make sure you are there to see what happens with Big 10 Tournament tickets.

The Big Ten Tournament has really only featured one major upset as the #6 seeded Iowa Hawkeyes in ‘01 are the only team lower than a #3 seed to hoist the trophy. But the tournament has a history of producing a low seed team with a shot to win it all: #10 Illinois had a shot in ‘08 and #11 seed Illinois made it to the championship game in ‘99. Whatever teams get through this season will have a big chance to make a run in the NCAA Tournament, and you can be a part of the excitement with Big Ten Conference Tournament tickets.
