The Big Ten is loaded with star-power and lacks a definitive favorite heading into the conference tournament.
It's possible that no conference in America this season had a more impressive collection of individual talent in men's basketball than the Big Ten. Now some of the sport's brightest stars have arrived in Indianapolis, which is shaping up to be an exciting convention tournament with an autobid for the big dance on the line.
Illinois and Wisconsin split the regular season crown in the Big Ten, but there's no doubt that the field is completely open. With eight teams from the conference projected to make up the NCAA Tournament, it looks like it should be the most competitive arena of any conference tournament in America.
The Big Ten tournament will be all about the performances of the league stars. Potential top five NBA draft pick Jaden Ivey leads a Purdue team with a dynamic offense. Another potential NBA lottery pick, Iowa forward Keegan Murray, the Hawkeyes will be dreaming of staving off several upsets in March. Want to choose a more predictable lotto? Wisconsin guard Johnny Davis also qualified. Ohio State's E.J. Kofi Cockburn of Liddell, Illinois, and Ron Harper Jr. of Rutgers to round out the elite talent.
