If there’s one sure thing about the Big Ten Conference Tournament, it’s that there are no sure things.
The conference has made a reputation out of cannibalizing itself in inter-league play and the Big Ten Tournament has become an annual spectacle worth watching — whether your favorite team is in it or not.
Look no further than last season, when No. 13 seeded Ohio State University won three straight games and made it to the semifinals. Additionally, No. 10 seeded Penn State University upset the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds on their way to the Big Ten Championship game, where they lost to Purdue University.
