2025 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament: schedule, clip, recent history, television/streaming information

format

Traditional bracket

The Big Ten tournament takes place again in the Gainsbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis after having spent last year in the Target Center in Minneapolis.

There is a television/streaming change for 2025, with Peacock being taking Triplesheaders from the Big Ten network on Wednesday on Wednesday. (I'm still as a BTN, damn.)

Participant

As mentioned in the ACC tournament primer, the easiest way is to secure the top half of an 18-team conference, at least one bye, you have to drop three teams. This year this means Nebraska (17-14, 7-13, T12); Penn State (16-15, 6-14, 17th); Washington (13-18, 4-16, 18th). The hopeful hopes of the Cornhuskers are basically toast after they lost to Iowa at home on Sunday and ended up as a fifth team in a five-way difference for the 12th place. That is 16. And not good enough to make it to Indy.

All times are PM Eastern, unless specified. Games with an asterisk

are the second of a Doubleader, so the tip is approximate.

Surprisingly, the NCAA win from Big Ten with six repetitions in 2024 was better than eight or nine between 2021 and 2023. There is a good chance that the 2025 conference would have double figures, although Nebraska's inability to easily qualify this quest. Illinois:
