Purdue’s back at it again, clinching the No. 1 seed for the second year running after bagging their record-topping 26th Big Ten championship. With 28 wins, the Boilermakers have outdone themselves, setting a new school record for regular-season victories and boasting the third-highest conference wins in the league’s storied history.

Illinois claims the No. 2 seed, marking its ninth top-2 seeding since the tournament’s inception in 1998. Joining the elite ranks, the Illini are one of just four teams nationwide to notch 20-win seasons five years in a row.

Nebraska’s stirring victory at Michigan sealed the No. 3 seed,  their top Big Ten finish since joining the league. The Huskers’ season has been one for the books, tying their all-time single-season highs in wins and conference victories. Rounding out the top seeds, Northwestern secures the No. 4 spot, matching a program best with 12 conference victories. 

With double-byes in their pocket, these top four contenders are primed for the quarterfinals, setting the stage for a tournament brimming with drama, skill, and the heart and soul of college basketball.
