The last day of the regular Big Ten Basketball season 2024-25 has arrived.

The four best teams are defined: n ° 1 Michigan State, n ° 2 MichiganN ° 3 Maryland and n ° 4 UCLA. The order is always likely to change because Maryland and Michigan would return places if the Wolverines fell to the Spartans on Sunday. However, these four teams are assured of receiving double byes in the next tournament and playing their first games on Friday.

UCLA slipped into the last double bye slit after improving 13-7 with an eruption victory USC SATURDAY. This result linked him with Purdue and the Wisconsin in the final classification – made possible by the drivers and the badgers undergoing important fees against Illinois and Penn State, respectively. The UCLA won the break in equality of the record against the Big Ten teams in the order of the conference, because it was the one to defeat Michigan State first place during the regular season.

Seeds n ° 5 to n ° 10 are all decided. Sunday’s drama will occur with slots of slots n ° 11 at n ° 15. Entering the day, Minnesota, Rutgers and Nebraska are equal to the 11th to 7-12. Northwestern and USC are then tied in 14th at 7-13. Iowa, No. 16 of the conference at 6-13 on the season, still has hope. He can get the seeded n ° 15 with a victory over Nebraska, and could reach No. 13 with the help of Minnesota in his match against Rutgers.

Iowa against Nebraska is a victory match for the two teams. The loser is guaranteed to miss the tournament’s field at 15 teams. Beyond that, there are many sowing scenarios from n ° 11 to n ° 15. We will come back to update this piece after each of the Sunday results is final.
