The 2013 Big Ten Tournament bracket is set. After a last second thriller Sunday in Ann Arbor between Indiana and Michigan, Big Ten fans are primed for the tourney! Indiana clinched the Big Ten title with their 72-71 win over the Wolverines, but as quick as the Hoosiers celebrated, they have to refocus as the real prize still lies ahead.
This year's Big Ten Tournament should be a great one as any one of the top five teams favored could walk away the tournament title.
Indiana may be the Las Vegas odds favorite, but you can never underestimate the experience of a Tom Izzo Michigan State team, the grit of a Wisconsin or Ohio State, and the hustle of Michigan and Minnesota.
The Big Ten is one of the toughest conferences in the NCAA today and may send six or seven teams to the big dance. The 2013 Big Ten men's basketball tournament will be held at the United Center in Chicago beginning on Thursday March 14 through Sunday March 17.
