(Urbana-cf)-- The Big Ten Men’s Tournament will officially be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The conference announced yesterday that they will move this year's tournament from the United Center in Chicago. The move will make COVID-19 testing easier for both the Men’s and Women’s tournaments to be held in the same city. The women's tournament was already scheduled to be held at Lucas Oil this year. The Men’s tournament will return to Chicago in 2023.
