Men's Big Ten Tournament Features Plenty of Exciting Matchups

If Oregon is going to improve its seed in the NCAA tournament, they might need to score some big wins in the Big Ten Tournament. The action begins on Wednesday but not for Oregon. The Ducks don’t begin action until Thursday with a 9 AM PST tip with Indiana. As you’ll recall, Oregon beat Indiana 73-64 a week ago today.
The Hoosiers get their chance at a rematch this week. The winner of that game will move on to face a very talented Michigan State team, the No. 1 seed overall in the tournament. Oregon is currently a 2.5 point favorite headed into the contest.
