Who would’ve predicted an Iowa-Nebraska matchup for the Big Ten tournament championship?
No. 2 seed Iowa is seeking its third consecutive title, so no surprise there. But the No. 5 Huskers are a bit of a surprise.
Nebraska needed to upset No. 4 Michigan State to advance to the semifinals, where they met No. 8 Maryland, who knocked out No. 1 Ohio State. Nebraska fired on all cylinders to best the Terps and advance to the tournament championship game for the first time since its 2014 title.
And the Huskers are one of the teams who know how to bring Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes down. The two teams split their regular-season series, and Nebraska got the last laugh on its home court, taking down Iowa, 82-79, on Feb. 11.
This time, it’ll practically be home-court advantage for Iowa, who helped sell out the conference tournament for the first time ever behind Clark’s superstardom. The Hawkeyes are looking for their third straight Big Ten championship before tackling the NCAA postseason.
Here’s everything to know about the Big Ten tournament finals between Iowa and Nebraska, including start time and broadcast information.
