We've come to expect the Big Ten to be one of the most competitive conferences each year. 2022 is no different. Illinois and Purdue are the odds on favorites to win the conference, but Wisconsin, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Rutgers are all within reaching distance. Don't blink for a second throughout the rest of Big Ten play as it is sure to electrify all the way through the conference tournament.

Big Ten Men's Basketball History

No conference beats itself up like the Big Ten. Every single night is a heavyweight slugfest that leaves its teams battered and bruised each year. Maybe that's why spectators love it so much. Each night is a grind in America's basketball heartland. Anybody could knock off anybody else night-to-night, so there's no getting comfortable atop the Big Ten until it's all over.
