UW Women’s Basketball continued their season and their win streak in their first Big Ten Tournament game versus Minnesota, winning 79-65.
UW was ranked as a 12 seed and Minnesota was ranked 13th going into the tournament. 15 of the 18 Big 10 schools make the tournament (ahem, UW Men’s Basketball did not make it into the tournament, ahem). The top 4 seeds get two byes (USC, UCLA, Maryland and Ohio State) and the next 5 seeds get a first round bye (Indiana, Oregon, Michigan, Illinois, Michigan State). This means if Washington were to make a run in the Big Ten Tournament, they would play 5 games before the NCAA Tournament starts.
