Michigan State Spartans
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.
