The road to the NCAA Championship has been narrowed down to 16 teams after a weekend of action saw dark horse teams advance and tourney favorites move on in their quest for the national college basketball title.
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.
In Big Ten conference tournament action, the No. 3 seed Michigan State Spartans will look to defeat a hungry Iowa Hawkeyes team tonight at 9 p.m. at the United Center in Chicago.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams this year and the Spartans will certainly be looking to build on the momentum they've created since losing three conference games in a row to Indiana, Ohio State, and in-state rival Michigan.
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.
