The Big Ten Tournament began Wednesday from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in style as every lower-seeded team downed its higher-seeded opponent to advance into the second round of the bracket.

Northwestern defeated Minnesota to start the day and things escalated from there. In the second game, Iowa defeated Ohio State — and perhaps killed its NCAA Tournament chances in the process — with a 77-70 final. The day got weirder from there as No. 14 seed USC downed No. 11 seed Rutgers 97-89 in double-overtime, dooming Rutgers to become the first team in NCAA history to have two five-stars and fail to reach the NCAA Tournament.

And that was just day one! 

Thursday’s second-round action will be tough to top but there are ample opportunities to try. That starts with Oregon-Indiana and Wisconsin-Northwestern in the afternoon window followed by Illinois-Iowa and Purdue-USC in the nightcap.

So buckle up and prepare yourself by checking out the full schedule and tip times for the tournament below.
