The final week of the Big Ten basketball regular season is upon us, but with two rounds of games remaining, the Big Ten tournament picture is anything but clear. Five different teams could still win the title, and none of the 14 are locked into a particular seed.
With that being said, after a wild and wacky weekend of Big Ten action, the conference tournament picture is getting a little bit clearer. Here are the conference standings heading into the final week:
1) Indiana (23-6, 13-3)
2) Michigan State (24-5, 11-5)
3) Iowa (20-8, 11-5)
4) Maryland (23-6, 11-5)
5) Wisconsin (19-10, 11-5)
6) Ohio State (19-11, 11-6)
7) Purdue (22-7, 10-6)
8) Michigan (20-10, 10-7)
9) Penn State (15-14, 6-10)
10) Northwestern (18-11, 6-10)
11) Nebraska (14-15, 6-10)
12) Illinois (13-16, 5-11)
13) Minnesota (8-20, 2-14)
14) Rutgers (6-23, 0-16)
As you can tell, there are multiples clusters of teams that could finish with similar records, which means it's time to brush up on your tiebreaking procedures.
