We have finally arrived at the B1G Tournament with the NCAA Tournament in sight!
It has not been an easy season for any team involved while playing through the COVID-19 pandemic. But after seeing the 2020 conference and NCAA Tournament canceled, teams are eager for a chance at the postseason in 2021.
Earlier in the season, the B1G moved its tournament from Chicago to Indianapolis. That decision brought even more basketball to the state of Indiana with the NCAA Tournament set to be played in its entirety in venues across the state.
Lucas Oil Stadium is one of those venues, and it will first play host to the B1G before welcoming teams from across the country. While the football-centric venue has hosted basketball games before, the court set up this time around will be a bit different.
BTN and analyst Andy Katz put out a couple of behind-the-scenes videos before Wednesday’s tipoff, and the arena will utilize a two-court arrangement once the NCAA Tournament gets underway.

Hopefully this setup allows for everything to go off without a hitch.
