Written by Brent Yarina, BTN.comThe Big Ten tournament bracket comes out Sunday night. Here at BTN.com, we’re trying something new around the release of the bracket that we hope Big Ten fans enjoy. It’s a bracket with 12 slots that features each team’s best dunk from the 2012-13 season.
Watch Minnesota’s dunk of the year candidates in this post and vote for the slam that will represent the Gophers in our new tournament.

Here’s how it works:
- BTN.com provides the finalists choices for all 12 teams.
- Big Ten fans will select the top slam for each of the 12 teams.
- Dunk seeding correlates to the actual Big Ten tourney bracket. The dunk from the tourney’s No. 1 seed gets the No. 1 dunk seed, and so on.
- Once our bracket is set, Big Ten fans will vote on BTN.com until a dunk champion is crowned.
