INDIANAPOLIS — The 2025 Big Ten men’s basketball tournament will culminate Sunday with a showdown between No. 3 seed Michigan and No. 5 seed Wisconsin at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Wolverines overcame a late-season slump, defeating Purdue and Maryland in thrilling victories to reach the final. Guard Tre Donaldson’s last-second layup secured their 81-80 semifinal win over Maryland.
Wisconsin, a preseason pick to finish near the bottom of the conference, has exceeded expectations, currently ranked No. 14 nationally. Guard John Tonje has been instrumental in their tournament run, leading the team’s scoring efforts.
Both teams are seeking their first Big Ten Tournament titles in several years: Michigan last won in 2018, while Wisconsin’s last victory came in 2015. The championship game will air on CBS, with streaming options available on Paramount+ and Fubo. The game represents a compelling matchup between two teams who have defied expectations to reach the tournament’s final.
