With just one regular season game remaining, a lot still has to be sorted out as far as the Big Ten tournament seeds are concerned. Purdue has locked up the top spot in the conference. But after that, Wisconsin, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan State and Northwestern have a ton to play for with a top four seed and a double bye on the line.
The Wildcats’ win over Michigan, Illinois’ defeat of Michigan State and Iowa’s upset win over Wisconsin in Madison opened the door (ever so slightly) for Northwestern to re-enter the top four after a brutal stretch to end February.
