Printable Big Ten Tournament bracket 2024: Schedule, teams, location and more

Championship Week is here, the beginning of the madness that will last all month and even into early April. One of the premier events to watch is the Big Ten Tournament, where top seed Purdue will battle it out against a host of teams that are trying to either improve their NCAA Tournament seed or steal a bid from the bubble.

Illinois is the only team besides the Boilermakers that is currently ranked in the AP poll, but that doesn't mean that the competition won't be fierce. The Big Ten is loaded with teams in that middle tier that are capable of beating anyone on the right night, including Northwestern, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Michigan State. Northwestern is especially dangerous, having already beaten Purdue once and taken them to overtime in Mackey Arena.

Every team in the conference except Minnesota and Indiana has beaten a ranked team this year, and the Gophers and Hoosiers are plenty respectable themselves, with a combined 19-21 record in conference.

Still, this is Purdue's tournament to lose. Led by Wooden Award favorite Zach Edey, Matt Painter's team is the defending Big Ten Tournament champs, and a lock for a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Boilers could even score the No. 1 overall seed, depending on how things shake out between them, UConn, and Houston this week.

Five teams are currently safely in the field according to Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology: Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Nebraska. Michigan State is on the right side of the bubble, and can likely lock up a spot with a win or two this week. Iowa is also lurking, and could play themselves into the bracket with a strong showing, and Ohio State is extremely dangerous in the wake of its recent run of strong play under interim coach Jake Diebler.
