When is the Big Ten tournament?
Where is the Big Ten tournament?
Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, which also will host numerous NCAA tournament games along with the Final Four and national championship game. Capacity at the stadium will be capped at 8,000 fans per session. The tournament originally was scheduled to be held in Chicago, but Big Ten officials moved it to Indianapolis after the NCAA announced that its tournament would be held entirely in Indiana, giving conference teams the option to remain in the area after the Big Ten tournament.

Who’s a lock for the NCAA tournament?
Not only are Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State and Iowa locks to make the NCAA tournament, but they’re all in the running for No. 1 seeds. Purdue and Wisconsin are both in good shape, while most bracketologists have Maryland and Rutgers in the field of 68 as well, though regular season-ending losses to Northwestern and Penn State have put a dent in the Terrapins’ hopes. Thursday’s win over Michigan State probably will seal the deal.
Who’s on the NCAA tournament bubble and needs a run in the conference tournament?
Few teams have generated more bubble chatter this season than Michigan State, which last missed the NCAA tournament in 1997. As of this writing, the bracketologists seem split on whether the Spartans are a “last four in” type of team or a “first four out” type of team, and Thursday’s loss to Maryland will spark further debate until Sunday.
