The 2018 Big 10 tournament will be held in New York City’s Madison Square Garden from Feb. 28 to March 4.
Michigan State and Purdue are the big favorites at this year’s event, while Penn State and Nebraska are safe bets to pull a few upsets.
The Spartans are led offensively by Miles Bridges (16.8 points per game) and defensively by Jaren Jackson (3.3 blocks per game), winner of the 2018 Freshman and Defensive Player of the Year awards. Purdue, on the other hand, is led by first-team All-Big Ten sophomore Carsen Edwards, and seniors Vincent Edwards and Isaac Haas.
