The Big Ten Tournament tips off this afternoon in Chicago with the 16th-seeded Oregon Ducks (12-19, 5-15 Big Ten) taking the court against the 17th-seeded Maryland Terrapins (11-20, 4-16 Big Ten). Both teams enter the tournament following disappointing regular seasons, with the winner advancing to play No. 9 seed Iowa in the second round.
Oregon lost 10 of their first 11 conference games this season but closed winning three of their last five. Maryland did not finish the regular season with any momentum having lost their last four.
These schools met on January 2 and Oregon won 64-54. In that game, center Nate Bittle scored 16 and pulled down seven rebounds for Oregon. A team who has struggled to defend the perimeter for the most part this season limited Maryland to 28% shooting from the field (18-65) from the field and a mere 7-35 (20%) from beyond the arc. The Terps’ Andre Mills has finished the season strong having scored in double figures in each of the last six and ten of the last eleven games including 30 in the regular season finale against Illinois. They need him to have a day.
Each of these schools simply must win the Big Ten tournament if they are to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The Ducks are ranked No. 97 in KenPom and No. 102 in the NET. The Terrapins are ranked No. 128 in KenPom and 151st in the NET.
