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.

The Big Ten has 18 total teams but only accepts 15 teams into the tournament. Which means Nebraska, Penn State and Washington will be watching from home.

The action gets started Wednesday and the games will air on Peacock and the Big Ten Network. Times listed are PST.
