MSU’s Izzo looks forward to ‘wide open’ Big Ten tourney

Michigan State enters this year’s tournament as the defending Big Ten champions.

Regardless of how they earned the two-round bye, the Badgers hope to be back on pace heading into the postseason.

Game 10, approx. 8:55: No. 3 Maryland (24-7) vs. He’s had big performances in there, such as a 16-point effort against IL and a terrific 18-point game in that huge win over MI. Its guard play is much better and Caleb Swanigan has become one the country’s best forwards, blossoming into the player expected last season.

The Big Ten, however, has a simple three-day tournament of single-elimination games for its six teams.

The 2017 tournament is up for grabs. Both teams are playing well to close out the season. Game 1 victor, BTN.

For the first time since the conference began hosting the tournament at a nuetral location in 1998, the Big Ten will crown a tournament chamion on the east coast.

The Purdue Boilermakers are the favorites this week as the Big Ten Conference men’s basketball tournament tips off on Wednesday at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Game 10 victor, CBS. “You look at that tournament, tell me you’d rather play a No. 12 or a No. 7, tell me you’d rather play a No. 13 or a No. 5”, Izzo said Monday on a teleconference.

This would be a rematch of a great two-game series from earlier this season. (17.0 ppg) and Robert Johnson (13.3 ppg). Easily Wisconsin. Only two of us think they beat either IN or Iowa.

Teams on MSU’s half of the bracket handed the Spartans five of their eight league losses, including two to top-seeded Purdue. Purdue can flat out score the basketball. The Boilermakers had taken the lead at 14-12 on a three-pointer from Morrissette and layups by Dominique McBryde and Bridget Perry. Wisconsin lost to Purdue, 66-55 on January 8. Here is a dirty little secret no one mentions in the hysteria surrounding the Wildcats surge to their likely first-ever NCAA bid: They are 3-6 in their last nine games.

Game 10: Game 6 victor vs. Northwestern managed to win one game during Lindsey’s absence, shockingly besting Wisconsin for a landmark win in Madison.

No. 2 Wisconsin (23-8) vs. Iowa/IndianaWisconsin sophomore Ethan Happ. Anyone seemingly can beat anyone in the Big Ten. Minnesota’s Richard Pitino claimed Coach of the Year laurels from both the media and his peers.

That, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo believes, gives almost every team a shot this week, including his Spartans. Michigan State’s Miles Bridges picked up Freshman of the Year accolades in both ballots. Game 8 victor, CBS.

Matta described Rutgers as a team that likes to make games ugly.

Northwestern is playing not only for a conference title, but to at the very least improve its resume enough to solidify an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time in school history.

I don’t think any of us truly believes in Northwestern but 3 of us couldn’t pick against them. Wisconsin lost at home to Northwestern, 66-59 on February 12. Bridget Perry had a bit of a struggle, in part due to having to try and deal with Brionna Jones, but still contributed 7 points and 6 rebounds.
