The Big Ten Tournament got underway Wednesday with a trio of first-round matchups that set the stage for an intense weekend of postseason action. Here is a look at each game from yesterday and how they unfolded.

Ohio State's NCAA Tournament chances just took it on the chin. The Buckeyes were already precariously on the bubble and it might have just popped in a 77-70 loss to Iowa in a Big Ten Tournament first-round game that continued a poor showing down the stretch of the season.

The Big Ten Tournament begins tonight, and six teams are scheduled to compete. First up, Minnesota and Northwestern go head-to-head. Next, the Ohio State Buckeyes and Iowa Hawkeyes take the court. •Stream Iowa vs. Ohio State on Peacock. Get one month of Peacock for $7.99.
