Less than three hours before the first game tips off, the Big Ten announced its men's basketball tournament in Indianapolis will go on despite concerns about the coronavirus.
"At this time the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament will continue to be held as scheduled," the Big Ten said in a statement.
The conference tournament begins on Wednesday afternoon with a pair of games. Ohio State opens play as a No. 7 seed against No. 10-seeded Purdue at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
Fans and media will be allowed to attend the games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
