It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
I hope you all sang that in your head just now. In just 2 days time, the 2023 Big Ten Tournament will tip off at Chicago’s United Center. It was a rather bizarre conference season (Nebraska not in last!) in which just about every team had to wait until the last game was over to see where they would finish in the standings. We saw some very dramatic finishes with more than a few buzzer beaters. With 9 of the 14 teams finishing with either 9, 10, or 11 wins, there certainly seems to be a higher than normal amount of parity in the B1G this year.
