Big Ten Daily (March 6): Plenty to Be Decided on Final Day of Regular Season

There is still a lot left to play for on the final day of the Big Ten regular season, with Wisconsin looking to wrap up the league title, Michigan and Rutgers locking up NCAA bids and seeding for next week's Big Ten Tournament all on the line.

Indiana and Purdue wrapped up their respective seasons on Saturday, but there are six games left to play on Sunday, and there is still a lot on the line, both for the tourney title and seeding in next week's Big Ten Tournament,.

Two teams, Rutgers and Michigan, are still looking for more victories to impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee as well.

So here's the day's schedule, plus what's at stake in every game.

Penn State at Rutgers

• Gametime, TV: Noon ET on Big Ten Network
• Records: Penn State is 12-15, and 7-12 in the Big Ten; Rutgers is 17-12, and 11-8 in the Big Ten.
• What's at stake for Rutgers: Rutgers got a huge win at Indiana on Wednesday, and a victory on Sunday just might be done to secure and NCAA Tournament berth. Rutgers had some ugly losses early in the year, but reeled off four straight wins against ranked teams in February, something that had never been done before by an unranked team. Rutgers can also get a top-four seed in the Big Ten Tournament with a win and a lot of help. They would need Ohio State and Iowa to both lose. 
• What's at stake for Penn State: The Nittany Lions are trying to avoid playing on Wednesday night in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament, so they need a win or a Maryland loss for that to happen.

Michigan at No. 23 Ohio State 

• Gametime, TV: 12:30 ET on FOX
• Records: Michigan is 16-13, and 10-9 in the Big Ten; Ohio State is 19-9, and 12-7 in Big Ten.
• What's at stake for Michigan: The Wolverines are still building an NCAA Tournament resume, and win here would probably be enough to secure a bid. If not, they will need a tourney run, at least a small one, next week in Indy. Michigan will have to do it without star center Hunter Dickinson, who is missing Sunday's game with a stomach illness.
• What's at stake for Ohio State: The Buckeyes would love to secure that No. 4 in the Big Ten Tournament, and the double bye that comes with it. They need a win and an Iowa loss to get the No. 4 seed. With a loss, they could fall as far as No. 6 if Rutgers wins. Former Butler and Indiana center Joey Brunk is getting the start for Zed Key after scoring 18 points against Michigan State. Key has an ankle injury, but is expected to play, but forward Ryan Young is out for Ohio State.

Nebraska at No. 10 Wisconsin

• Gametime, TV: 2 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network
• Records: Wisconsin is 24-5, and 15-4 in the Big Ten; Nebraska is 9-21 and 3-16 in the Big Ten.
• What's at stake for Nebraska: The downtrodden Cornhuskers have been playing well lately, posting wins over Penn State and Ohio State after starting the league season 1-16. A win and a Minnesota loss moves Nebraska up to the No. 13 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
• What's at stake for Wisconsin: The Badgers can win the Big Ten regular season tonight outright with a win, which is much preferred over sharing it with Illinois. It's also Senior Day at Madison, and a fond farewell is planned for guard Brad Davison and others. It's also likely the last game in Madison for sophomore star Johnny Davis, who just might win the Big Ten Player of the Year award.

Maryland at Michigan State

• Gametime, TV: 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS
• Records: Maryland is 15-15, and 15-4 in the Big Ten; Michigan State is 19-11 and 10-9 in the Big Ten.
• What's at stake for Maryland: The Terrapins can avoid playing on Wednesday night in the hated opening round with a victory over a Penn State loss. Finishing with a winning record would also be nice.
• What's at stake for Michigan State: The Spartans probably punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament with that win over then No. 6 Purdue last week, but let's be real, too. The Spartans are just 1-5 in their last six, and now there are questions. Getting that 20th win on Sunday would sure help.

No. 24 Iowa at No. 20 Illinois

• Gametime, TV: 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1
• Records: Iowa is 22-8, and 12-7 in the Big Ten; Illinois is 21-8 and 14-5 in the Big Ten.
• What's at stake for Iowa: The Hawkeyes are the hottest team in the league right now, winning five in a row and eight of nine. An upset on the road here would lock in the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. They been so impressive this past month that their NCAA stock is soaring, as well.
• What's at stake for Illinois: The Fighting Illini are hoping for a miracle on Sunday. They need Nebraska to stun Wisconsin in Madison, so the Illini can still tie for the Big Ten title. That's probably not likely, but a win would secure the No. 2 seed. If they lose, they drop to No. 3 behind Purdue. 

Minnesota at Northwestern 

• Gametime, TV: 7:30 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network
• Records: Minnesota is 13-15, and 4-15 in the Big Ten; Northwestern is 13-15 and 6-13 in the Big Ten.
• What's at stake for Minnesota: The need a win or Nebraska loss for the 13th seed. The Gophers have lost three in a row and five of six, so simply getting back in the win column is a big deal, too.
• What's at stake for Northwestern: The Wildcats are locked in to the No. 12 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, regardless of the outcome of Sunday's game. It's very possible these two teams see each other again on Wednesday night.

Indiana is locked in to the No. 9 seed in the Big Ten Tournament regardless of what happens on Sunday. Their opponent will be either Michigan or Michigan State.

Purdue can move up to the No. 2 seed if Illinois loses. They are locked in to the No. 3 seed otherwise.
