With 18 teams in the conference this season, not everyone can make it to the tournament. The bottom three are left home while seeds No. 10-15 play in the first round.

Seeds No. 6-9 have byes to the second round while the top four receive a double bye to the quarterfinals. The Big Ten Tournament is played from March 5th to 9th.
