"The Big Ten's Greatest Games" for football and basketball is a popular program for our TV viewers and online readers. Each year we dig through the archives and roll out new episodes featuring games from the past. For example, that classic 1989 Big Ten basketball finish between Illinois and Indiana featured in our ongoing series "I Hit It To Win It" (watch the video in this post).
We also like to hear suggestions from our Big Ten fans. Is there a game you'd like to see make it into the rotation? Let us know via the box in this post.
But before you make a suggestion, scroll down and see what games have already aired on BTN. Also, watch some video clips of previous games over here, too.
