The Big Ten Men's Baskeball Tournament tips off Thursday in Indianapolis and the Fighting Illini will be active in the first game of the day.

Thanks to a late-season surge, the Illinois secured the #9 seed for the tournament and will battle the Indiana Hoosiers in Round 1. The game will tip-off at 11am on Thursday, March 13.  Pre-game starts at 10:30am on your home for Fighting Illini football and basketball, WROK.

If the Illini win on Thursday they'll play at the same time on Friday. The complete bracket for the tournament is here. Most analysts think the Illini will need a deep run to have a chance at earning a berth to the NCAA Tournament.
