Updated Big Ten men's basketball tournament bracket, schedule entering title game
The final matchup of the 2025 Big Ten Tournament is set.
Wisconsin punched its ticket with a thrilling 77-74 win over No. 1-seed Michigan State. Star wing John Tonje scored 32 key points in the winning effort, plus sealed the triumph with an unbelievable block on a Spartans buzzer-beater three-point attempt. The game was a classic heavyweight fight by arguably the conference's two best teams. The Badgers prevailed with key plays down the stretch, including baskets from John Blackwell and Carter Gilmore, free throws from Tonje and the mentioned big block. Wisconsin will play in the Big Ten Tournament final for the second consecutive year after it fell to Illinois in the game last season.
The Badgers' opponent: the No. 2-seed Michigan Wolverines. Dusty May's team edged Maryland 81-80 in the semifinal, thanks to a buzzer-beater layup from guard Tre Donaldson. Star forward Danny Wolf again led the Wolverines, this time with 21 points, 14 rebounds and four assists. Center Vladislav Goldin also pitched in a key 25-point, 10-rebound double-double. Michigan out-rebounded Maryland 47 to 18. The team needed a last-second basket largely due to its 19 turnovers -- Maryland scored 29 points off those mistakes.
Michigan defeated Wisconsin 67-64 on December 3 in their only matchup of the regular season. Sunday's rematch will carry significant stakes, as Wisconsin looks to record four wins in as many days en route to a tournament title.
With Sunday's final matchup set, here is an updated look at the Big Ten Tournament bracket. Complete with how to watch the final game:
