† 2019 Big Ten Tournament winner
Rankings from AP Poll

The 2018–19 season marked the first time in Big Ten history that the teams played a 20-game conference schedule.[1] The new schedule included a regional component to increase the frequency of games among teams in similar areas. Over the course of a six-year cycle (12 playing opportunities), in-state rivals will play each other 12 times, regional opponents will play 10 times, and all other teams will play nine times.[1] Three in-state series will be guaranteed home-and-homes: Illinois and Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue, and Michigan and Michigan State will always play twice.[2] The conference opponent list was released on April 19, 2018.[3]

With a win over Northwestern on March 9, 2019, Purdue won a share of the Big Ten regular season championship, its conference-leading 24th championship.[4] Later that same day, Michigan State defeated Michigan to earn a share of the championship, marking back-to-back championships for the Spartans.[5] Due to tie-breaking rules, Michigan State received the No. 1 seed for the Big Ten Tournament.

The Big Ten Tournament returned to its more traditional Midwest roots and was held at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.[6] The Tournament was held from March 13 through March 19, 2019. Michigan State won the Big Ten Tournament championship, defeating Michigan for the third time on the season in the championship game.[7]

Michigan State guard Cassius Winston was named Big Ten Player of the Year.[8] Purdue coach Matt Painter was named Big Ten Coach of the Year.[8] Winston, Ethan Happ and Carsen Edwards were 2019 consensus All-Americans.

In addition to Michigan State, who received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the conference set a conference record by sending eight teams to the Tournament: Michigan, Purdue, Wisconsin, Maryland, Iowa, Minnesota, and Ohio State. Michigan State advanced to the Final Four.

The conference also sent two schools to the National Invitation Tournament: Indiana and Nebraska.
