Conference tournaments wrap up on Sunday, and then March Madness can well and truly begin.
Michigan State and Michigan basketball — the latter of which will play Wisconsin in the men’s Big Ten tournament final — will finally see where they will be seeded for the men’s NCAA Tournament with Selection Sunday, as both programs look to make a deep run. The Wolverines are in their first season under head coach Dusty May, whereas the Spartans are gearing up for their 27th straight March Madness appearance under Tom Izzo.

Michigan State won its first regular season title since 2020 this season, and Izzo earned Coach of the Year honors for his efforts. The Spartans haven’t won the NCAA Tournament since 2000, and were runners up in 2009. Michigan, meanwhile, hasn’t won a title since 1989 (its only national championship). The Wolverines are hoping to prove themselves as contenders under May.
Other Big Ten teams expected to make it in include newcomers Oregon and UCLA and the impressive Maryland, Illinois, Purdue, and Wisconsin. Indiana and Ohio State are both bubble teams.
