Ohio State beat Minnesota on Thursday to punch its ticket to the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals. It’ll take on a No. 4 seeded Purdue squad that has already beaten the Buckeyes twice this year. However, those two games were close, and OSU gave the one in Columbus away. It should be another tight one that comes down to the wire.
Now that we’re down to eight teams left as we head into the quarterfinals, we know you’re interested to see what the updated bracket looks like, and what teams are matching up at what time. If so, we’ve got that covered. Here is the updated Big Ten Tournament bracket, with the schedule of games to follow thanks to NCAA.com.
