Michigan certainly could be included in this game, but the past four Big Ten tournament titles have gone the way of Columbus or East Lansing (three to the Buckeyes, one to the Spartans).
While the conference is certainly loaded with squads like Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State have developed a fierce rivalry the past few seasons. Tom Izzo and Thad Matta are arguably the two best coaches in the league, and no other Big Ten schools have won more than one regular-season conference crown since 2005.
During that stretch, the Spartans have at least a share of three, and the Buckeyes have at least a share of five.
This game would feature a ton of familiar names to fans across the Midwest and country, including Aaron Craft, LaQuinton Ross, Sam Thompson, Keith Appling, Gary Harris and Adreian Payne and a clash between the Buckeyes? stifling perimeter defense and the scoring guards of the Spartans.
A No. 1 seed may even be on the line in the NCAA tournament (as it often is in the Big Ten tournament final).
