The Big Ten Women's basketball tournament is truly just only a month away, with the first round of games set to be played in the first week of March. The tournament will look a tad bit different this year as not every team in the conference will make it in due to the addition of Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC in the summer of 2024.
The top 15 teams will make it in, with the top four seeds receiving double byes and the top nine seeds receiving first-round byes. Seeding will be based on the regular season final record.
