DeutschMost Big Ten men's college basketball teams have two games remaining in the regular season before next week's Big Ten tournament begins in Chicago (March 10-15).
Michigan has wrapped up the top seed, winning the regular-season title with a few games to spare. Teams are still jockeying for positions 2 through 4 to earn the all-important double-bye to the quarterfinals.
This year, the Big Ten tournament expanded to all 18 teams. So Penn State, Oregon and Maryland, who would have been in line to miss the tournament, get a chance to play in Chicago.
UCLA's win over Nebraska was the big headline coming out of Tuesday night's games.
Here's how the bracket looks as of March 4.
