But perhaps what's even more impressive is that with Purdue and Michigan's victories, the Big Ten is a perfect 10-0 in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. That's the first time in history that a conference has had that many first- and second-round victories.

The Big Ten's perfect start is no more.  No. 6 seed BYU held on for a dramatic 91-89 win over No. 3 Wisconsin Saturday, handing the Big Ten its first loss of the NCAA tournament. The Big Ten is now 10-1 in tournament play.

BYU set the tone early that an 11-0 Big Ten start was not meant to be. The Cougars jumped out to a 23-14 lead at the midway point of the fist half then extended it to 47-36 at the break. Wisconsin struggled to slow a BYU offensive that was hot inside and out.
