2020 Big Ten Tournament: Seeding, bracket, predictions, results, etc

So the top four effectively get two byes?  Has the B10 tourney always been like this?  Seems like they're trying to minimize the odds of a Cinderella upset on the eve of March Madness bracketing.

It's been that way since Maryland and Rutgers were added.  The Big East used to do the same thing back in the day.

Yep...but really it is about rewarding teams for a decent conference season.

But winning 5 games in 5 days is rough.
