Big Ten Tournament 2018 Printable Bracket
Get ready for the action in one of college basketball’s premier conferences with a printable bracket for the 2018 Big Ten Tournament.
In what has been a wild year in college basketball — scandals aside — the Big Ten has been the personification of much of that craziness. There has been constant shuffling in the standings and a mad race at the top of the conference for much of the year. Now they all get to duke it out once more for the 2018 Big Ten Tournament.
Miles Bridges and the Michigan State Spartans enter the conference tournament as the No. 1 seed after posting a 16-2 record in conference play and a 28-3 overall mark. Tom Izzo’s group is lethal, as noted by the fact that they are the second-ranked team in the nation at this point and appear to be heading for a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Following them are plenty of potential champions in the Big Ten, however. The Ohio State Buckeyes and Purdue Boilermakers are the second and third seeds, respectively, in the Big Ten Tournament after posting equal 15-3 marks in conference play. Carsen Edwards and the Boilermakers had a dry spell not long ago, but are as lethal as they come when they’re on.
Meanwhile, there are certainly other teams lurking, such as the Michigan Wolverines (No. 4 seed) and even the feisty Nebraska Cornhuskers. What’s clear, though, is that this is going to be one of the wilder conference tournaments if it plays out anything like the regular season in the conference.
