One week.
That’s all that remains in the B1G regular season. After next Sunday, teams will pack for Chicago and compete in the B1G Tournament, hoping to earn a guaranteed spot in the NCAA Tournament the following weekend.
With teams having one or two games remaining, the tournament picture is starting to take shape. While there are still things that can change over the next week, it’s always fun to see where teams stand entering the last week.
Here’s the B1G Tournament picture with seven days remaining in the regular season:
What the #B1GTourney bracket would look like if season ended today.
It doesn't, of course, but still fun to consider.

Indiana, Penn State, Nebraska and Northwestern are currently slotted in slots No. 11- No. 14, respectively. That means each of those teams will be Day 1 teams in Chicago.
Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin are slotted in the top four spots, and those teams would currently have a double-bye, not playing until Friday.
There are still some twists and turns ahead. And considering how crazy this B1G basketball season has been, we’re bound to see some final changes in the last week.
It should be an entertaining final week of basketball.
