Big Ten tourney a buyer's market

This year the Big Ten faces another variable it can't control. The chilly economic climate has the league office prepared for slumping ticket sales for the 12th Big Ten tournament, which returns to Indianapolis March 12-15.

"I think we're feeling it this year," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said Wednesday. "We think we've had probably as good a race as we've had in years. We think the quality is up. But there's no doubt that the demand may be down a bit simply based on the economy."
