2017 Big Ten tournament bracket: Ohio State earns 11 seed, will face Rutgers

The Big Ten regular season is now in the books, and that means the Big Ten Tournament bracket is finally set.

Ohio State earned the 11 seed, which means they’ll need to play in the tournament’s opening game. They’ll face Rutgers, who finished last in the conference. But don’t let that fool you, the Scarlet Knights are significantly improved, and Ohio State only barely beat them earlier in the year, winning 70-64.

Should Ohio State win, they’ll face Northwestern, who grabbed the six seed (the Wildcats squeaked past Ohio State earlier in the year, 74-72), and then Maryland, who grabbed the three seed.
