Can anyone topple Michigan? That’s the theme of the 2026 Big Ten Tournament after Dusty May’s Wolverines ran roughshod through the Big Ten slate. Michigan became the first team since 1975-76 Indiana to win every single road game in conference play. It’s an absurdly impressive accomplishment, and the big, bad Wolverines will waltz into the Windy City as the unquestioned favorite to add a Big Ten Tournament title to its long list of accomplishments.

But none of the narrative stuff matters in this single-elimination bracket. The top seed has won the Big Ten Tournament just twice in the last nine years, and plenty of teams in this top-heavy league have the ammunition to go on a multi-day heater.

Here is the official bracket.
