CHICAGO – With a record 16 men’s and women’s basketball teams competing in post-season play, BTN will have full coverage, with nightly episodes of Big Ten Basketball and Beyond: Tournament Edition, presented by 5-Hour Energy, as well as postgame press conferences. Six men’s and seven women’s teams are in the NCAA Tournament, while three men’s teams are competing in the NIT.

To say that Boilermakers E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson were good during their time at Purdue would be an understatement.  Just how good was the Purdue duo?  Moore and Johnson were the first pair of players to crack the 4,000 point plateau during a Big Ten basketball season since Calbert Cheney and Greg Graham hit the milestone for Indiana.  Watch now as Dave Revsine and Shon Morris discuss the legacy the Purdue pair have left in West Lafayette.

Expectations for the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team will be high heading into the 2011-2012 season.  Last year, Bo Ryan and crew managed to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008, knock off a #1 ranked opponent for only the second time in school history, and went undefeated (16-0) at the Kohl Center. Watch now and see how last season’s success has the Badgers primed for another big year.

If you want to talk to someone about how to be successful during March Madness, then talk to Minnesota’s Tubby Smith. Smith is one of only three coaches to win an NCAA Tournament title in their first year as a head coach (Kentucky, 1998) and has also taken three separate NCAA basketball teams to the Sweet 16. Watch now as Coach Smith talks about what you need to make sure your team can pull off a deep NCAA Tournament run.
