The 1998 Big Ten men's basketball tournament was the inaugural postseason men's basketball tournament for the Big Ten Conference and was played from March 5 through March 8, 1998 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The championship was won by Michigan who defeated Purdue in the championship game.[1] As a result, Michigan received the Big Ten's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Due to the Michigan basketball scandal, Michigan has vacated the records from this tournament.[2] Similarly, due to the Minnesota academic scandal, Minnesota's appearance in this tournament was vacated.[3]

Seeds

All 11 Big Ten schools participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded by conference record, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with identical conference records.
