Watch Big Ten Tournament online: Live stream, TV channel, schedule
The Big Ten Tournament kicks off on March 8 from the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., with the winner receiving an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.
The conference could get as many as seven teams in the Big Dance, and all eyes will be on Northwestern, which has never received a bid to the tournament in its history.
Purdue is the top seed and regular-season champion. The Boilermakers lost in the title game last year to Michigan State, who are the five seed.
