How to watch men's Big Ten basketball tournament 2025: TV, stream, time, schedule
Several Big Ten men's basketball teams are projected to make the NCAA Tournament, and they'll try to either make their case or improve their seeding with the Big Ten tournament kicking off Wednesday.
There are plenty of teams in the conference that have a great chance of having a high seed in March Madness such as Michigan State, Maryland, Wisconsin and last year's national runner-up Purdue. On the opposite end, Indiana and Ohio State are on the bubble of the bracket and need to have nice showings in Indianapolis so they aren't left out on Selection Sunday.
With the tournament now in action, here's how to watch every game leading up to the reveal of the NCAA Tournament.
