Hoosiers
The Big Ten Conference tournament has been a by-the-numbers tournament so far this year, with the top seeds advancing in each of the games that have been played so far.
With the NCAA tournament bracket starting to take shape, it is clear that a number of Big Ten teams will need impressive showings in the Big Ten Conference championships to ensure a good seed in the Big Dance.
The Big Ten tournament is underway and already a few upsets have been avoided.
In what has been a rollercoaster of a season for most Big Ten teams, the strength of the conference cannot be questioned, yet they continue to do internal damage to themselves.
For the first time in 24 years, the Golden Gophers knocked off the number one team in the nation, the Indiana Hoosiers."We took care of the ball, something we haven't done in a long time," said Minnesota Coach Orlando 'Tubby' Smith.
Tonight's 7 p.m. match-up between the No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers and the unranked Golden Gophers of Minnesota comes with a flurry of implications.
