2013 Big Ten Tournament Semifinals: Top four seed battle it out; Las Vegas odds

The 2013 Big Ten Tournament schedule rolls into the semifinals round today and there really hasn't been too many surprises thus far. The top four seeds, Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State and Wisconsin, are the last four standing in Chicago.

Indiana and Ohio State had no problem with their Quarterfinals games yesterday.

The Hoosiers rolled over Illinois 80-64 while Ohio State showed no mercy on Nebraska 71-50.

Ohio State's Sam Thompson grew up in Chicago and went to high school near the United Center, so this win was extra special for the sophomore.

Thompson had a career-high 19 points on the night in the OSU romp.

"It felt great to be home, playing front of my family and all that," he said. "It's always fun to play back in Chicago."

Today will be a much more difficult task for both squads. In the first game of the day, No. 1 Indiana will face the No. 4 Wisconsin Badgers while the No. 2 Buckeyes will take on the No.3 Michigan State Spartans in the night-cap.

If you are a Big Ten hoops fan, today is must see T.V.

Here is a look at today's schedule along with the Las Vegas lines

  • Wisconsin vs. Indiana (-6 O/U 128) -- Tip off 1:40 p.m. EST
  • Ohio State (-2 O/U 124) vs. Michigan State -- Tip off 4:05 EST
