The Big Ten Tournament was flipped on its head on Friday, as three of the top four seeds went down in their first game. No. 9 Indiana continued its strong tournament, taking down No. 1 Illinois, 65–63, for its second straight upset. Then, No. 7 Michigan State upset No. 2 Wisconsin 69–63 thanks to a 45-point second half.

No. 5 Iowa had the biggest win of the day, defeating No. 4 Rutgers 84–74 for a second straight double-digit victory. Finally, No. 3 Purdue survived No. 11 Penn State 69–61 to advance to the Semifinals.
