The Big Ten men’s basketball conference tournament will expand to include all 18 member schools this upcoming season, per a report from the Big Ten Network.

Matt Fortuna of The Inside Zone provided more details, noting that the tournament, which will take place in Chicago’s United Center next year, will add an extra day.

The Big Ten expanded from 14 to 18 teams last year after adding USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon from the Pac-12. Last season’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments both featured 15 teams, with the last three squads in the 18-team standings being left out.
