The final conference tournament championship of 2012 gets underway on Sunday as Michigan State and Ohio State battle for the Big Ten title. Both teams were part of a three-way split of the Big Ten regular season championship, and each comes into the matchup with perhaps a shot at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Michigan State cruised to the tournament finals with two double-digit wins. In the quarterfinals, the Spartans hung 92 points on Iowa in a 17-point win. They followed that up with a 13-point win over Wisconsin, handling the Badgers' ugly-it-up style with ease.
If Saturday was any indication, Ohio State is barreling towards the NCAA Tournament with a full head of steam following its 22-point win over Michigan in the Big Ten semifinals. The semifinal win followed an easy 17-point victory over Purdue in the quarterfinals, perhaps a sign of things to come on Sunday.
The Big Ten Tournament Championship is a rematch of each team's final regular season game, which Ohio State won to prevent the Spartans from winning the conference title outright.
