As if the past three days of the 2017 Big Ten Tournament have not been exciting enough, the semifinal matchups on Saturday should be everything we expect and more. On one side, the Michigan Wolverines take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers. On the other, the Wisconsin Badgers will face the Northwestern Wildcats.
In an overtime thriller, No. 8 seed Michigan took down top-seeded Purdue 74-70 to kick off an action-packed Friday. Minnesota followed that with a 63-58 victory over Michigan State.
The evening session saw No. 2 Wisconsin send No. 10 Indiana most-likely to the NIT with a 70-60 win over the Hoosiers.
