The Big Ten made history on Friday by finishing a perfect 8-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. No conference in NCAA Tournament history has ever produced more victories without a loss in any round of the event.

Following 10 consecutive wins to begin the NCAA Tournament, the Big Ten Conference hit a bit of a snag during the latter stages of the second round over the weekend. Wisconsin was one of those who were eliminated from March Madness while four others secured spots in the Sweet 16.

The Big Ten advanced four teams to the second weekend of the 2025 NCAA tournament and has a 12-4 record through 16 games.
