The great thing about the Big Ten Tournament is that traditionally the number 1 seed doesn’t win the tournament. In fact the number 1 seed has only been crowned tournament champions 4 times in the 12 year tournament history. (My apologizes to this years #1 seed, Ohio State)
The first game of the tournament features #8 Michigan vs #9 Iowa. As you know (even though I’m embarrassed to admit it) I’m as huge Michigan fan. They have been a huge disappointment this season. I would not be shocked to see Iowa win this game. The Hawkeyes are young team that has improved just about every game this year. But…call me a homer, I think DeShawn Sims does enough to extend his career another game.
The second game is a match-up of #7 Northwestern and #10 Indiana. The Hoosiers are in transition. They will be a much improved team next year. I see Northwestern winning this one rather easily.
The third and final game of the first day features #6 Minnesota vs #11 Penn State. After starting 0-12 in the conference, Penn State finished 3-3 in their last 6 games. Two of those losses were at Michigan State (by 2 points) and against Purdue (by 4 points). Don’t be shocked if Penn State wins this one. But I have to go with Tubby Smith and his team in this game…Minnesota in a close one.
I’ll be back to preview day 2 tomorrow! Leave me a comment and let me know if you agree or disagree with my picks!
