Big Ten Tournament: Tip times, TV details, Predictions for each Quarterfinals game today

Michigan State will make its debut at the 2023 Big Ten Tournament on Friday.

The Spartans will take on Ohio State in the mid-afternoon matchup, with the winner moving on to the semifinals on Saturday. The Spartans and Buckeyes just played a tightly contested battle last week so this should be another fun game at the already very exciting Big Ten Tournament.

No. 1 Purdue vs. No. 9 Rutgers

Tip Time: 12 p.m. ET

TV: Big Ten Network

Prediction: Purdue beats Rutgers

Rutgers was the first team to beat Purdue earlier this year so can they do it again on Friday? It’s possible since they’ve done it before — and on the road for that matter — but I don’t like their chances this time around minus one of their top offensive threats in Mawot Mag. The Boilermakers move on to the semifinals.

No. 4 Michigan State vs. No. 13 Ohio State

Tip Time: 2:30 p.m. ET

No. 2 Northwestern vs. No. 10 Penn State

Tip Time: 6:30 p.m. ET

TV: Big Ten Network

Prediction: Penn State beats Northwestern

Penn State should have clinched their bid in the NCAA Tournament with Thursday night’s victory over Illinois, but why not guarantee it with a win on Friday? These two teams met just last week with Penn State winning on the road in overtime, and I believe they’ll again get the best of the Wildcats.

No. 3 Indiana vs. No. 6 Maryland

Tip Time: 9 p.m. ET

TV: Big Ten Network

Prediction: Indiana beats Maryland

The final game on Friday should be a good one between Indiana and Maryland. The Terps won the only regular season meeting between these two teams but Maryland has been a different team away from home. I like Indiana to make a few more plays late and pick up a narrow victory over the Terps.
