1. Penn State — There hasn’t been much teams have been able to do against the Nittany Lions during Big Ten play this season, and Maggie Lucas and Company enter the tournament as favorites for the title after sharing the regular-season title with Michigan State.

12. Illinois — It doesn’t seem like there’s much hope here for the Illini, especially since they’ve drawn the Hawkeyes — who routed them by 25 points Sunday — but they do say that the third time is the charm. The Illini forced the Hawkeyes to grind out a sluggish win in their first meeting on Feb. 13. An upset wouldn’t help Illinois get into the NCAA Tournament, but it could change Iowa’s seeding in the Big Dance.
