We look like the cream of the conference's crop through five tournament games featuring Big ten teams: Purdue struggled to beat Vermont, Wisconsin's in a dogfight with VTech (currently halfway through the 2nd), and Minnesota & Maryland both lost.

Northwestern had won at the Kohl Center. The first was in Value City Arena in Columbus.
 
Surprisingly, we're still one of only two major conference schools not to have reached the Sweet 16. But at least we've now surpassed Nebraska, which has never won a tournament game.

Time to cross off that goal.
