(WXYZ) -- The Big Ten announced schedules for its 2021 men's and women's basketball tournaments on Wednesday.
Both tournaments will be held in Indianapolis this year. The men's tournament was relocated from Chicago to Lucas Oil Stadium and the women's tournament will be played at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The women's tournament will feature 13 teams this year instead of 14, due to a self-imposed postseason ban by Ohio State.
