Big Ten play technically started in December, but for all intents and purposes the title race starts this weekend as the four remaining undefeated teams face off. Ohio State hosts Michigan State for the opening round on Saturday before Michigan and Indiana duel on CBS on Sunday afternoon (4:30 p.m., tickets).
The Wolverines haven’t faced the Hoosiers since December 2017 when Jordan Poole made five 3-pointers off the bench to resuscitate Michigan’s season. The stakes are higher this year as the two programs meet as top 25 teams for the first time since 2013 when Indiana snatched Michigan’s share of the Big Ten title away at the final buzzer in Ann Arbor.
