Seeding for the Big Ten tournament came down to the final game of the regular season. Northwestern could have finished as the No. 2 seed with a win at Rutgers on Sunday night or fall all the way to No. 9. Such was the volatility of the Big Ten standings this season.
Of course, Purdue is the No. 1 seed, having won the league by three games while the rest of the conference jockeyed for position.
The tournament starts Wednesday in Chicago.
