The University of Wisconsin men's basketball team was due to play at 11 a.m. Friday in the Big Ten quarterfinals against the winner of Thursday's game between Rutgers and Michigan. Shortly before Thursday's game began, however, the conference canceled the rest of the tournament.
The Big Ten played two tournament games Wednesday in Indianapolis with regular attendance before originally announcing the final four days starting Thursday would be played with only players, coaches, event staff, essential team and conference staff, TV network partners, credentialed media and immediate family members of the participating teams allowed in the building.
