What tournament??
by B. C. on 3/14/20Bankers Life Fieldhouse - IndianapolisBut seriously, cancellation was the right move. May a day earlier to save people travel time and costs.

Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament
Played annually since 1998, the Big Ten men's basketball tournament is a late but welcome addition to the national slate of conference tourneys. The tournament usually concludes on Selection Sunday, with the winner getting an automatic berth to the NCAA tourney.
The Big Ten tournament is always played on a neutral site. Over the years it's bounced between Chicago and Indianapolis, except in 2017 and 2018, when the host sites were the Verizon Center in Washington, DC, and Madison Square Garden in New York City, indicating the conference's expansion to the Eastern Seaboard.
Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament History
So far, the tournament belongs to the Big Ten's traditional powerhouses. Michigan State has claimed a plurality of the championships, with six: 1999, 2000, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. As an official matter, Ohio State has won four — 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2013 — though the Buckeyes also took home the 2002 crown, only to have it vacated due to NCAA sanctions. As befitting the best team in one of the toughest conferences in the nation, the winner of the tournament has often gone on to play in the Final Four — seven times in all.
The final rarely produces a major upset — a No. 1 or No. 2 seed has captured the title in most tournaments played since 1998 — but there have been some March Madness moments in the tournament here and there. In the tourney's second year, the bottom-seeded Illinois Fighting Illini, having won three conference games all season, made an improbable run to the championship game, largely thanks to Cory Bradford's sharpshooting. They beat No. 23 Minnesota, No. 17 Indiana and No. 11 Ohio State, finally succumbing to No. 2 Michigan State in the final. In 2008, the Illini, seeded 10th out of 11 teams, went on another tear, losing to Wisconsin in the title game. In 2017, the eighth-seeded Michigan Wolverines became the lowest seed to win the Big Ten tourney, knocking off Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota and Wisconsin along the way.

by RGTFT on 3/14/20Bankers Life Fieldhouse - IndianapolisDisappointingly, the cancel announcement came half way through the first game (Minn vs NW). This was shaping up to be one of the better Big Ten basketball tournaments.
Rating: 1 out of 5 The tourney that never happened
by Sparty Fan on 3/14/20Bankers Life Fieldhouse - IndianapolisPandemic wiped out all hopes of Big Ten seniors from experiencing what may have been the tournament of all BIG10 tournaments. BIG10 officials should have let the tournament continue, even if without the general audience in to cheat their teams.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Big Ten tourny - Awesome
by klye13 on 3/6/18Madison Square Garden - New YorkGreat to have big ten come to NYC. I hope they return every year. Tickets were a little pricey but not outrageous - wish ticketmaster would have released their individual days a little sooner - I ended up going thru another site to get one day of the tourney and ticketmaster for the second date. MSG a great venue for college basketball. Please return.

by SpartyPartyDontStop on 3/26/14Bankers Life Fieldhouse - IndianapolisBeautiful and clean venue. Easy and affordable parking. Bob was the staff member in my section. He was friendly and I noticed him provide quality customer service for the people in our section. I would like to return if MSU plays there in the future. Don't let the B1G hang ads on the back board and below the basket when the guys cut the nets. I couldn't see. Like they'd listen....
