Always a competitive program, Purdue has had some powerhouse teams that ultimately fell short. In their storied history, they've only secured two Big 10 Tournament titles, with the most recent coming in 2023.
Michigan has a sneaky good NCAA Tournament resume. There have been a lot of down years, but some really good ones with deep runs. The Wolverines actually have the best winning percentage of any team in the Big Ten when it comes to the tournament.
They may be under .500 overall in the Big 10 Tournament, but Iowa is competitive more often than not, securing three championships in their history.
It's been a decade since Wisconsin's last Big 10 Tournament win, but this program known for its defensive prowess is always competitive.
In the late 2000s/early 2010s, Ohio State had the best stretch of its existence. They won four conference tournament crowns in that span, including back to back in 2010 and 2011.
Illinois has had some very memorable teams but has been inconsistent when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. For a so-called, self-proclaimed basketball school, you would think the Illini would be able to have more success when it matters most.
Michigan State is known as the most successful NCAA Tournament team in the Big Ten. The Spartans have the most wins and have the conference's last national title, way back in 2000.
