Time saver:

BIG TEN
Dates: March 11-15.

Location: Indianapolis.

Top seed: Wisconsin (22). Quite a triumph for Greg Gard and his Badgers to earn the No. 1 seed. They overcame the abrupt departure of guard Kobe King in late January and rolled down the stretch, winning their final eight games.

Dark horse: Fourth-seeded Illinois comes in with a lot of confidence, having won five of its last six to lock up its first NCAA bid since 2013.

In the NCAA tournament: Wisconsin, Michigan State, Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Rutgers.
